ESPN pulls out of TV contracts with B1G.  Does ESPN now go to the SEC/Big 12 & get the UT/OU move accelerated?
I'm guessing 2024 will be the date.

They didn't pull out. they just couldn't meet the demand.

Bonus is NO MORE BETH MOWINS.

It doesn't bother me in general.  But I certainly don't want MY team to do it.

They didn't see enough value in the B1G to meet the B1G's asking price.  Why would they?  They already have the SEC with Texas and OU incoming.

There won’t be any money left over after the SEC espn deal goes thru. 

Jesus no wonder OU and UT had to make the jump, the gap between the haves and have nots is about to get very wide.

A&M at #7.  In my time as a fan, since the mid 90's, whenever we started the season ranked high we always played under expectations.  When we started mid to teens we more often than not we basically  went 8-4 or 7-5 ish.  Sometimes we managed 11 wins.  

So we're going 8-4 again .  YAY !

The Big 12 is currently in a  "we're better than you" debate with the Pac-12. It's obvious that third place doesn't even really exist any longer. Perhaps Thursday nights are available.

well, it certainly puts pressure on ESPN to pay enough to land the SEC contract

they more or less HAVE to pay more than the next highest bidder
can you imagine ESPN and ESPN2 w/o the Big Ten and the SEC on saturdays?
bring on the ACC, Big 12, and the PAC
