Supposedly they don’t have to pay for it
Big 12 couldn’t add more schools unless there is a change with the media contract
Extending the media contract allows ESPN to get any school they choose released from GOR
Pretty much the Big 12 schools didn’t have much of a choice
They needed ESPN to extend the media contract. ESPN controlled expansion by handpicking the schools
Now ESPN can control when they put Texas and OU into the SEC
That 80 million per school is short term money
Not worth losing 10-15 million in revenue for.
Pretty simple. Would you rather get $1000 today or get 40 dollars everyday for a month
Short term or Long Term
ESPN controls almost all of the media contracts for G5 schools
They could have sent Baylor to the WAC if they wanted to

Huh, maybe you’re right. But do we know when those 4 teams will officially play Big 12 ball?
