Potential good news for Big 12 future TV negotiations

[JonDMiller]

ACC gets a ton of money in their new deal, and Fox came after it strong...and didn't get it...so now, the Pac 10 and Big 12 are what's out there for them to get:

Being on Fox sports net is a joke. You may or may not get games and have to search for them. Their booth pairs are bad and the quality of the game is bad. The Big 12 needs to be on a major network, like Fox, NBC, or TNT.

Time to make a Big 12/Pac 10 network with revenue sharing.

The money they pay spends.

Fox sports went hard because they are losing the Big 12/Pac 10 to thier own network.

Jon,
In spite of your daily predictions that Big 10 expansion will lead to the demise of the Big 12 Conference, I think it will lead to the opposite result. The Big 12/Pac 10 network will be the largest and most powerful network of all, including every BCS university west of the Mississippi.

Except Minnesota, Arkansas, and Louisiana State. I don't necessarily disagree, just sayin.

I agree. Assuming that a Pac 10/Big 12 Network actually happens it could supplant the Big 10 as the dominant network. Rutgers doesn't have the following in New York that USC, Cal, and UCLA have in Los Angeles.

And Iowa...

[SCNCY]

Our time will come, we just have to wait and then we'll be in the same league as the SEC and Big 10.

And Iowa...

They don't count

Philly is a Big10 market for FB. I would classify it as Big East for hoops.

Never being on TV is a bigger joke.
