Still waiting on that link about 2009's Big 12 contract requiring all 12 teams get one ABC football appearance.
Good thing you're using a government computer to help you Google all this.

It wasn't in the contract, it was more an rigidly enforced gentleman's agreement from the beginning:
quote:
The ABC agreement limits a team to six appearances; there are no limitations on the number of times a school can appear on the FSN package. FSN and the Big 12 work cooperatively to assure that each institution receives at least one appearance, but there is no contractual provision that mandates that. In the history of the Big 12, each institution has had at least one appearance on either ABC or FSN (or a sublicensee like TBS/ESPN) every year.
The only thing contractually stipulated is not more than six appearances. That continued after 2009:
