Written detailed report by Baylor Insider David Smoak this morning.
There are more specifics in the written report.

High points:

BYU is in for all sports.
Sunday play not an issue.
July 1, 2023 is projected start date for new teams.
TV revenue estimated at $24.8 MM per member in revamped Big 12.
Without the new additions, TV revenue was estimated to drop to apprx. $10 MM/member.
That does not include Big 12 championship game, CFB Playoff, or NCAA tournament credit revenue.
Tie III deals and revenue are up to individual members (yay for BYUtv!). Annual Tier III revenue for current Big 12 programs is apprx. $15 MM.

Adding two more is possible, and some schools are pushing for that. Memphis and Boise are the clear leaders if that occurs.

My comment: Money talks. The fact that BYU is clearly the biggest media prize on the table, and that the league was set to drop from $25 MM/team to $10 MM/team is the reason BYU was a must add now program.
