When will big12 Get real TV contract???

[Adelpiero]

for christs sake, what conference accepts only 3 televised games a week? The MAC gets close to 3 games shown a week.


And start of season, only 3 teams can be shown, so out of 12 teams, only 3 teams can get on TV. Nice conference recruiting tool there :roll:




Who the fuck would believe that is a great deal???

Donnie Duncan's daughter was kind of hot. she was in my 5th grade class at Monroe Elementary in Norman.

despite (or because of) CU being here, Denver is a Big XII media wasteland. and hoops, forget about it.

in the early 90's every CU game was on some access channel...this will be the 2nd week in a row for no Buffs TV at all. way to go Big XII!

fuckers.

[Vito Corleone]

Welcome to Donnie Duncan land.

This is a guy who thought that both Howard Schnellenberger and John Blake were good hires.

The problem is that Big 12 country only has KC, Houston, and Dallas as media markets-and people in Dallas don't really give a shit about college ball.

Pac-10, ACC, etc all have major media markets that whomp on the Big 12 markets.

Wow when did we lose Denver and St Louis? BTW the fact that San Antonio and Austin have grown together has made the combo one of the top 20 media markets.

The Big 12 does need a better contract, I hate the Notre Dame Broadcasting Network. but if they came up with a legit contract i would be all for leaving ABC and ESPN.

[Adelpiero]

u have St.louis and KC for Mizzou




They need to get atleast 4 games on per week, if not a 5th.

[Nolesy]

You will get a good contract when you get a good conference.

Sincerely, TREX

Did we ever have either of them? Denver watches the Broncos on Sunday and the Avs every other day. Never really thought of St. Louis as a Big 12 market at all.

nobody in Denver gives a fuck about college football. the sports talk radio will spend 85% of all friday talking about the Bronco game rather than the CU-UT game, for example.

you get better cfb talk from national shows like espn radio--even if stunningly inaccurate-- than the local Bronco media catamites. they know who butters their bread (or "buns") around here. it's almost better that the "media personalities" don't talk college football since they are so laughably bad--since it's just an endless parade of platitudes they read on ESPN or CBSsporstline.com.

[SunCoastSooner]

Oklahoma City and Witchita aren't exactly a small media market anymore either.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

Try averaging more than 2-3 teams in the top 25. That would be a start.

[Vito Corleone]

Oh please the Big 12 has one bad year and everyone is ready to proclaim us the Big LEast.

Colorado is the most underrated team in college football. There is no reason why they are not in the top 25. They have had 2 losses to teams in the top 5.

The Okies and Nebraska wil be back and if a$m gets rid of their coach they might be good again as well.

[indyfrisco]

Pretty soon, Slocum will be back. I called it here.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

As a non Big 12 fan, I actually long for the days of those powerhouse KSU teams, and the Big 12 Title game used to be one of the most exciting games of the season, as a viewer. The cream of the crop has shifted to Texas this year, and OU will of course be back, but the problem that has plagued the Big12 of recent years has been too many doormat teams. All conferences have them, but the Big 12 tends to thrive there.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

By the way, the Baylor-OU game was on FSN up here and I admit I watched most of the 2nd half and OT.

[indyfrisco]

We just got FSN 2 weeks ago on local cable. I watched a bit of the BU/OU game too. A&M has played many games on FSN this year so hopefully I will be getting those as well. Now, the digital cable offers ESPN Gameplan so I'm excited about next season getting to watch any more games.

There was some talk in the mid-90s of expanding the conference to 14 teams in order to include New Mexico and Utah. That would have given the conference the largest viewing Market in all of College football. To do that they would have added BYU to the North and New Mexico to the South. I personally think it would have been a really smart idea to do cause it would not have changed the power structure but it would have helped with TV contracts.

for christs sake, what conference accepts only 3 televised games a week? The MAC gets close to 3 games shown a week.

And start of season, only 3 teams can be shown, so out of 12 teams, only 3 teams can get on TV. Nice conference recruiting tool there :roll:

Who the fuck would believe that is a great deal???

I do.

Sin,

Kevin Weiberg
Big XII Commissioner

---------------

Weiberg will tell you that it's raining while he's pissing on your leg. I have never heard a bigger apologist when it comes to defending this piece of shit contract.

Hell, we get no less than four-freaking Big 10(11) games on the tube each Saturday. Nobody here cares. This is not Big 10(11) country. But try to find Mizzou-Iowa State on TV? Tiger Network radio, Baby. And it ain't gonna get any better until we get new blood in the commissioners office.

Large: Colorado Springs make your Top 100 list?

[Danimal]

Our tv-deal is garbage, especially when you have to watch so many games on sorryass FSN. The production standards are horrible, replay is a dirty word, they'd rather show players mill around between plays.

I'd be interested to see how those stack up against the Big Ten and Pac-10 markets.

The Big 10 has 8 markets in the top 25 compared to the Big 12's 4 markets. As for the Pac-10, you have 6 markets in the top 25. It's not really a fair comparison. While you could argue that the Big 12 holds 3 of the most recognizable names in football based on history (Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska), I think it comes down to tv homes for the networks.

However, I have to wonder why the Big 12 can't be on CBS or on ESPN. Maybe it is time to steal a team for each of the leagues. BYU? Wyoming? Arkansas? Some midmajor teams like New Mexico? Adding another bordering state team wouldn't hurt.

only 3 games on Network TV or 3 games on all TV total for the big 12? Im sure if you count all the fox networks there are more than 3 big 12 games on a week
