The Big 12 plans to engage in discussions with Fox and ESPN about the league's next television contract. The planned talks come more than a year and a half before the current deal calls for a formal negotiating window.

How will they even make money with all that racism you claim.

If the Big 12's talks with ESPN and Fox turn into negotiations, it would likely be for a short-term extension that gives the league clarity after the current deal expires following the 2024-25 academic year.

The willingness of the Big 12's television partners to come to the table could mitigate one big advantage the Pac-12 has in the conference television landscape. At Pac-12 media days, commissioner George Kliavkoff said the league was in "the enviable position of being next to market" after the Big Ten.

The Pac-12 has two years remaining on its television contract, and the league announced in July that its board of directors had authorized the conference to begin negotiations for its next media rights agreement. It's unclear how much that has helped the Pac-12.

Racism I “ claim”? The racism was a real actual occurrence. I know you don’t deal well with reality but good lord get a grip.

The racism involved a future BIg 12 member, not one currently in the league anyway. The negotiations will begin now. Two separate issues as your trolling ass knows.

New Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark said Wednesday that given the changing landscape of college athletics, the league welcomes “the opportunity to engage with our partners to determine if an early extension is in the best interest of all parties."

…
“The Big 12 has enjoyed a fantastic relationship with its multi-media rights holders, and I look forward to having these conversations,” Yormark said.

With ESPN and FOX agreeing to initiate early Big 12 discussions, the Big 12 can now give potential new members from the Pac-12 specific numbers on its new media rights deal. It would allow any Pac-12 schools to compare the revenue numbers if they joined the Big 12 or remained in the Pac-12 without USC and UCLA and any other teams that left for the Big Ten.
