Looks like ESPN will be sublicensing some of the Big 12 football and basketball games to TNT
"ESPN will sublicense Big 12 conference college football and basketball games to Warner Bros. Discovery that it can air on TNT, as well as on its Max streaming service."
It would have to start in 2025-26 to align with the new NBA deal.
Agreed. I'm fine with the occasional TNT game, but I don't want to add yet another streaming service to catch those games.Jesus Christ. Our **** better not start running on Max. Another friggin subscription.
I am assuming it has something to do with ESPN owning all SEC (and investing heavily) and owning all ACC. It is easier for them to sublicense the little bit of Big 12 they still own.It’s kinda weird that it’s just the big 12 right? Why not ACC or especially SEC?

TBS was very involved in the Big 12 in the early 2000s so I don't think this is a bad thing for the Big 12. I don't think the Big 12 will get any less news coverage than they are already currently on ESPN (almost nothing).
And honestly, the Big 12 could use an advocate in the media. I know Fox tries to an extent, but they have divided interests... and don't get me started with ESPN.
Wait, Vandy isn't a power house like ESPN said when they beat Alabama? I'm shocked!And honestly, the Big 12 could use an advocate in the media. I know Fox tries to an extent, but they have divided interests... and don't get me started with ESPN.
Hopefully I don't have to get another streaming service to watch these games... "as well as on its Max streaming service"
