Given the drama around Texas lege special session this probably goes nowhere but interesting that he even went this far.

Haha. Same. It is almost assuredly the last year of B12 sports for OU and TX, but it is going to be a really shitty year for them and there is zero chance they play in the B12 past this year. It would be amaze to see them have to stick it out a couple of years though.

I don't think us suing ESPN is really going to diminish our next broadcast deal.  I think ESPN is a business (not a person), and that business is still very hungry for watchable live content.  Biz is biz.  Dudes in charge come and go, biz goes on. 

Plus, there are other streaming and/or TV providers who will jump in.

Suing ESPN doesn't really change much in my opinion, other than lessen our chances of getting mumped on exit fees by UT and Texas, and increase our chances of getting full money through 2025 when the current deal ends.  Win win, IMO.  Sue them to the moon.

What motivation would anyone have for NOT using it? I'd hit them with the ban stick so hard...

ESPN: "Hey, AAC! How about we throw some money your way if you convince the Big 12 schools to jump ship?  Here's the kicker: you can't mention us by name to any of them.  Good luck!"

On the positive side, KSU could resume its rivalries with Tulsa and Wichita State.

Since we are now officially at war with ESPN are we suppose to cancel our ESPN+ subs, delete their app etc?

I had a chance to read Dodd's article in a non speed read fashion and it sounds pretty legit, for once he may have actually nailed the business side.

Some the easiest dots on the planet to connect at this point relative to what they are trying to do.

ESPN/OU/Texas need total Big 12 implosion to wholly avoid either a non desired protracted exit, or an expensive rapid exit.   As of now, they're negotiating from the highest number in order to get out early if the Orphaned 8 hold fast.   
Everything Texas and Oklahoma have said about this is very careful to reference 2025.  If there's a coordinated strategy between the schools and ESPN, I find it hard to believe they wouldn't use the same language.  There's a very obvious "wink wink" at the end, but that disclaimer is likely enough for plausible deniability.  They'll just say the strategy was for whenever the schools leave, and the schools say they're leaving when the contract is up.

I think ESPN has absolutely sucked for news for ages (also lol at the whole idea of sports news), but seeing some of their stuff on the Big 12 today, I was honestly like, "whoa, they're getting into Fox News alternate reality territory."

The full spin mode is going to be a sight to behold.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Now that Big Bob laid his dick and balls on the table, ESPN and others are now talking about Big Ten getting ACC or PAC teams.  Not much talk about raiding the Big 12.  :lol:
