Excited, but another ESPN+ game? We're past all the big scrubs...

#2 team in the country and we keep playing on a streaming service watched by 2,000 people. No one better at negotiating non-visibility for its conference better than the Big 12.

A lot of it is the misfortune of having multiple "big stage" games canceled/postponed thanks to Covid issues, but it's still frustrating that other unranked B12 members (like TCU as an example) have received greater exposure thus far than the number 2 team in the country.

The whrons make money off the TV contact too. I doubt they would leave money on the table...being whorns and such.

It's not money. It's exposure.

The less we have, the more the cows enjoy.

I'm pretty sure Baylor is ranked ahead of Texas this season, last season, the season before that...

The people that need to see us (recruits) are taking notice. It's about the money with them.

The #2 team in the country should never be on ESPN +. Especially in a conference game.

Kansas has 4 of their next 9 conference games on ESPN+

We have 1 of our next 9 conference games on the + by comparison (tomorrow).

Texas has 3 remaining games on + and they have the Longhorn Network that needs games as well.

So it's not always a UT conspiracy? Interesting...

For real though, thanks for the info. I figured it wasn't crazy skewed against us, I just didn't look it up.

Isn't this ESPN plus deal a big 12 deal?

Also do you see ACC, Big ten, SEC and PAC 12 on ESPN plus?

Butler alley oop, and Vital with the dunk! 15-12 in favor of the Baylor Bears.

Early on I'm a bit concerned about how both Flo & JTT are getting owned on the defensive end by the ISU big (Who isn't that great of a big). Hopefully that'll get corrected.

Matthew Mayer replaces Mark Vital on the court for Baylor.
