Dennis Dodd is certainly not a BIG 12 promoter, but this article seems pretty fair.
In summary:
  1. Mark Shapiro, ex-ESPN exec., is advising BIG 12 on media rights.
  2. There is some concern in SEC and B1G about possible antitrust action if theycontinue to raid conferences.
  3. Big Ten, according to Dodd, has cooled on other PAC-12 teams.
  4. PAC-12 screwed up last year by voting down pursuing BIG 12 teams.
  5. BIG 12 is well positioned and is engaged with FOX and ESPN for a new deal. ( I have to believe the BIG 12 is not solely speaking to FOX and ESPN.)
