Doesn’t CBS have the SEC rights until 2024? So what would ESPN get out of this?

An early departure for OU/UT away from ESPN and the Big 12 so that CBS can have their rights for a year?

Here’s an interesting bit of leverage that hasn’t been discussed at length

Very possible.

I’ve actually thought that same thing. It’s a huge chip.

I don’t understand why anyone would go for destruction

Says the guy whose team wanted to destroy BYU.

I’m talking more about conferences. I’m cool with targeted destruction 🙂

You're argument for wanting to avoid conference destruction is the same argument

here's to hoping

It was just a joke…nothing more

utah needs to try and save the pac10....while the 2 AZ schools and Colorado go

I agree. Bad for the Western US to not have a power conference. At the same time

Have you not watched the PAC 12 on the field the last few years?

I completely agree it’s not ideal,

100% agree

Simple. To send Utah back to the WAC.

A small part of me is worried Bowlsby’s accusations about ESPN will hurt the B12

Apparently the new Big12 commissioner is cozy with a high up fox exec.

Bowlsby’s cease and desist played a part of saving the B12 and allowing BYU

No, SEC and ESPN start fall 2024

runningryan

That’s what I just said.

OU and UT would get to leave the Big 12 one year earlier without having to pay a lot of money to do so.

slatecoug

7/5/22 10:56pm

Ok? What would ESPN get out of that. That’s the point of the thread

TCuz

7/5/22 10:58pm

Great matchups with late night inventory

runningryan

7/5/22 11:01pm

No duh. Again, what would ESPN get out of OU and UT leaving early?

TCuz

7/5/22 11:03pm

ESPN controls the SEC rights. They get a significantly more valuable product

slatecoug

7/5/22 11:05pm

The OU and UT TV rights in 2024 when their SEC deal starts

runningryan

7/5/22 11:05pm

Holy cow, they are already getting those rights in 2024 when they move to the SEC.

TCuz

7/5/22 11:08pm

They can't leave in 2024 unless they buy their way out of their GOR with the Big 12. That doesn't expire until 2025

Sorry, I thought you were referring to the end of the football season and not the academic fiscal YE - continue

You mean besides a massive lawsuit from the remaining Pac 12 schools?

dYrtbYkerYder

Lawsuits galore against ESPN and the Big 12 if they collude to destroy a

No collusion, no obstruction, total witch hunt

ESPN paying exit fees for UT & OU helps the schools, how does it help ESPN?

Which one? None seem to answer my question.

It’s not hard to grasp.

It is hard to grasp when ESPN ALREADY has the TV rights to UT & OU thru 2025.
