Big 12 leaders: Flexibility is sign of strength for future
By SCHUYLER DIXON2 hours ago
For them, flexibility as a 10-team conference is a pretty close second to money.
“Our model has agility,” said West Virginia President Gordon Gee, who is completing his two-year terms as president of the Big 12 board of directors. “And I think that right now, I’d much rather be a ballerina than an elephant. I think we are the ballerina of the five top conferences.”
Commissioner Bob Bowlsby chimed in with a visual of seeing “a character in the paper of me in a tutu.” But the man who helped lead the conference out of an era of instability in the extreme understood the point.
“I think our model of playing everybody in football and playing a double round-robin in basketball is the best model,” Bowlsby said. “I think our one vs. two is the best playoff postseason model. I like our model better than any other one I see out there.”
Big 12 revenue increased to $38.8 million per school for 2018-19, or a total of $388 million. Bowlsby said he anticipates those numbers reaching the mid-$40 million range per school before the current broadcast rights deal expires in 2024-25.
The latest increase of about 6% is the 13th straight year of a bump in Big 12 revenues. Bowlsby said the increase is about 55% over five years.
The figures announced Friday as the league wrapped up its spring meetings don’t include third-tier broadcast rights, such as what Texas gets through the Longhorn Network. Those totals vary by school.
Baylor received a full portion of league revenue for the first time since the Big 12 decided two years ago to withhold some money in the wake of a sexual assault scandal that led to the departures of coach Art Briles, president Ken Starr and athletic director Ian McCaw.
