Yeah, I'm surprised a lot of people have been saying that somehow the 3rd tier games for the big 12 schools have suddenly become ESPN's? Where is that idea coming from? Example: So Iowa St's 3rd tier agreement with "Cyclone nation network" for 1 football game a year with UNI, several basketball games and wrestling meets suddenly belong to ESPN now....No. Unless someone has info I'm unaware of?

Not if the deal for T3 is with "Cyclone Nation Network", but if it's with a FOX Regional network, like Fox Sports Midwest or something, than that would then belong to Disney.

OU has a nice side deal going with a Fox regional to show some basketball games, wrestling meets. They are getting paid on a separate contract for it. I don’t think OU will be cool with losing that nice side deal that they signed separate from the ESPN/Fox deal. Just like Texas wouldnt be ok with losing their 15 mil a year side deal for tier 3 they have going....

A sale doesn't cancel existing contracts. If a FOX Regional has a deal with OU, and Disney buys the Regional, the deal is still in effect. It's just that now Disney is upholding the TV side of the deal rather than the former FOX owner.

Correct.

In OU's case, they're making around $7 million/year from Fox. That's not Longhorn Network money, but it's pretty good. In addition, Fox has invested in production capabilities at OU. They have content online, on their app, and on FS Southwest/FS Oklahoma. Part of the content is pay-per-view, part is distributed through Fox regional networks.

OU, OSU, Texas Tech, TCU, Baylor, and Kansas State have Tier 3 contracts with Fox regional networks. Those move to Disney with Fox Sports Southwest and Fox Sports Midwest.

Iowa State's Tier 3 deal is with Mediacom, the dominant cable provider in Iowa. They run Cyclones.tv. It is not with ESPN.
