As I was looking at the PAC-12's Saturday television decisions to see who they valued in their conference and who they
don't, I started to do the same thing for the Big 12. Every single game on ABC or FOX has either Texas or Oklahoma in it. Once they go to the SEC, the only thing FOX will have left is the Big Ten as their PAC-12 games' ratings fall off dramatically from the Big Ten. Oklahoma and Texas kept the ratings closer.

This was a strategic move by ESPN to monopolize and drive FOX out of the business. If the SEC somehow gets OSU/Michigan/MSU/PSU to leave the Big Ten, FOX would have absolutely nothing as all the Big Ten FOX games have at least one of those 4 teams in their games.
