Pretty decent if you ask me. May it seems bad because NU isn't on all that much.. but really, they're always going to show the top teams.

April 27, 2007
IRVING, Texas - The Big 12 Conference announced today the continuation of its ABC/ESPN television relationship with an eight-year multimedia and sponsorship agreement.

The new contract will provide broader football exposure for the Big 12 on ABC as well as additional coverage of Big 12 basketball and Olympic sports on ESPN's family of networks. The contract will begin with the 2008-09 academic year and run through 2015-16.

Big 12 football will receive up to 19 telecasts per season on ABC, including the Dr Pepper Big 12 Football Championship. Football exposure will be enhanced by broader distribution of regional telecasts on ABC as the geographical footprint of affiliates carrying Big 12 games will be expanded. In addition to four guaranteed national telecasts each season, the Conference will have significant prime-time exposure on ABC.

In men's basketball, the Big 12 will become the first conference to be guaranteed three weekly telecast windows on ESPN or ESPN2. In addition, 95 games will air annually with more than 60 contests broadcast by ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN360.com, ABC or another national over-the-air network. The Phillips 66 Big 12 Men's Basketball Championship will continue to be televised on a variety of ESPN platforms including ESPN, ESPN2 and regional syndication on a re-branded Big 12 Network.

The Big 12 has one of the best contracts. If you want to see bad, check out the Pac 10 contract. The conference contract has nothing to do with NU ending up on PPV. That has to do with what execs are picking for the week. Though some of the picks leave me scratching my head.

 
I think the tv deal is fine. If the Huskers were one of the top 4 teams in the league, every game would be on tv(not ppv).
