OT: Add'l Details on Deal Cut to Save B12

Submitted by MrWoodson on

The Dallas Morning News filed a FOI request and obtained access to a series of emails and other documents from TTU. Despite all the speculation and claims that this was such a big win for TX, it appears all they may have gotten was a guarantee of $20 million in 2012-2013 (the first year of the B12's new TV deals w ABC/ESPN and Fox, which have yet to be negotiated). TX and OU both received nearly $15 million this year under the current deal, so as long as they continue to perform well and the new TV deals are in line with the recent deal given to the ACC, they probably would have earned that much anyway.
