covers
2019,2021,2023 conference championship football games
from all schools but Texas and Oklahoma- games that aren't on linear TV will be on ESPN+- to include spring game, and at least 1 football game.

Big 12 is screwed, they agreed to put stuff on ESPN+

ESPN+ becomes the de facto Big 12 network.

"...Eight of the 10 schools will provide more than 50 exclusive events per year, including at least one football game, any spring football game and any basketball game that is not on an ESPN linear network. Texas, which has Longhorn Network, and Oklahoma, which has its own local rights deal, will not provide content to ESPN+.

Starting in '19, Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State and Oklahoma State will provide games for ESPN+. The following year, Iowa State, TCU, West Virginia and Texas Tech will participate...."

You’re not a power league if your “defacto network” is ESPN+ LMAO you’re the AAC.

Goodnight Big 12

If I was a Pitt fan, I’d be praying everyday the ACCN starts delivering fast otherwise ACC schools with real options will be knocking on the B1G and SEC’s door. Pitt would be left out in that scenario since the B1G already has the most important school in Pennsylvania and you don’t fit the SEC profile.

Suddenly the Big XII wouldn’t look that bad but I’m sure they’d get the better leftovers once the B1G and SEC are done. The ACC with AAC replacements, the ones you seem to like a lot will be your new conference mates. Be careful what you wish for.
