Big 12 conference has signed a new agreement for the sale of its television rights to Fox Sports . The commissioner of the conference confirmed the agreement for 13 years at a rate of 90 million per year will come into force in 2012. This new contract represents an improvement of 350% compared to the previous, also signed with Fox Sports .
In those 90 million, should be add the 60 that ESPN pay until 2016 for the rights of the major parties. The 150 million total are still far from what it perceives the Big Ten (214) and SEC (205), but are located very close to the 155 who will receive the ACC when signed his new contract.
is curious that this substantial improvement comes after the departure of two members, one of them Nebraska, one of the programs that gave prestige to the Big 12 . In addition to the disappearance of the conference finals as a result of progress and Cornhuskers Buffaloes . The Big 12 thus ensuring that 40 members matches will be broadcast by FSN , adding the 18 contract must issue ABC / ESPN .
addition to these agreements, the universities of Texas , Texas A & M and Oklahoma will have the right to choose a home game to be broadcast on their own. In the case of Longhorns will be through its network which will premiere in August, while Aggies and Sooners are negotiating with various platforms to follow in the footsteps of Texas .
