Big 12 Near Huge Deal with FOX

After almost folding last season, the Big 12 is on the verge of securing a big contract with FOX. The deal will pay the 10-team league more than $60 million a year, well up from the $20 million it now receives from its cable contract, industry sources say. This would provide even more exposure with FOX for the Big 12 and it's teams. Big 12 is a big conference and this just made it bigger.
