[QUOTE="topdecktiger, post: 129596918, member: 1459051"] It's funny to see you flail away when someone presents a fact you can't refute. None of the conferences have the phrases "Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3" in their contracts. It's not an official designation. It's an industry term. Here's a good explanation, from a West Virginia site, no less. [URL='http://www.wvillustrated.com/story/18305309/what-exactly-are-tier-three-rights']The hot phrase of the week around West Virginia is tier three rights. But, do you really know what tier three rights are? We sought the help of Big 12 Associate Commissioner Bob Burda to help answer that question. "Tier three rights consist of rights to television content or rights to sporting event content that has been passed over by our television partners," Burda said.
