Fox Drops Big 12 Championship Game

The 2019 Big 12 Championship Game is set for Dec. 7th.

Now all they need to find is a network to carry it.

Fox has decided to not pick up its option for the 2019, 2021 and 2013 games. Money (Big 12 wanted at least $20 million per) and scheduling (Fox didn’t want to compete against ACC or SEC games) are the reasons most mentioned for Fox bowing out.

This year’s game (Texas vs. OU) was a big hit for ABC, getting 10.2 million to tune in at 11:00 AM in the morning on December 1st.
