Watch: Former FOX CEO, Bob Thompson, Says...

Big 12 isn't nearly as close to a TV deal as they thought but there's no hurry either. Like me, Thompson noticed Yormark said that he and the TV people had not talked about the length of the contract yet in the last comments I heard earlier this week. The amount you'll get paid and the LENGTH of the contract are the two most important featues on an extension but they haven't talked about contract length yet? Hmmm. Without a significant pay difference between the Big 12 and the PAC 12 it's going to be virtually impossible for the Big 12 to lure over the 4 corner schools without B1G help taking Oregon and Washington first. Pretty good interview and lasts 22 minutes. ** Edited by LoveSports at 10/27/2022, 11:58:14 PM

If Thompson’s right, Yormark’s taking a big step back from, done in 2 weeks

Mr. Thompson is holding back. These interviewers didn't push him.

Warren has heavy ties to Arizona State and Phoenix, interesting speculation

Bob Thompson is as knowledgeable as anyone when it comes to TV contracts.
