Bowlsby was eager Monday to highlight the league's new TV partnership at Big 12 media days. "Big 12 Now" will debut this fall on ESPN+, an online streaming service that costs $4.99 per month or $49.99 annually.
It's essentially a work-around for the league that's long wanted its own television network. But the conference previously granted its third-tier TV rights to the schools. Thus, Texas created Longhorn Network, and Oklahoma partnered with Fox Sports. The remaining eight schools were left on their own.
How lucrative are third-tier TV rights? Bowlsby said Monday the financial considerations range from "about a million dollars a school to something between $15-20 million dollars at the University of Texas."

So "basically" tea sip and land thieves games won't be shown, however how much do you want to bet that during dead time, the volume of tu/ou replays will vastly eclipse that of any of the 8 indentured servants?

Wait isn't plus their pay service, i.e. not included in any tv subscription? So bdf fans have to pay extra to watch their teams? I really hope a sip/methtard @ isu/ku game winds up on the plus
