Big 12 nears six-year, $2.28B TV extension deal

Deal is with ESPN and FOX. The part I am sure you are all wondering:

The overall value of the Big 12's media deal is expected to increase from $220 million annually to $380 million. That's an average increase in media-only revenue per school from $22 million to $31.7 million

YES that is after Texas and Oklahoma leave. $32 million isn't $50 million or whatever the SEC and Big10 are rumored to be aiming for, but it's sure a hell of a lot better than $17 million for the next 13 years. Jim Phillips better start brushing up on his negotiating skills or he will need a course on leading small conferences.
