I couldn't find it, but Texas has a deal with IMG as well. If it works like NU's, IMG pays the school and then radio stations pay IMG. That $1 million is just one of what I would guess are several affiliates across the state. I would imagine the actual value of the deal is significantly higher than that. Are the games on the radio in Houston, DFW, etc.? I'd imagine there is a similar deal in place with each of them.I know Texas left it's flagship station, KVET in Austin recently, and moved to ARN, which is multiple local channels but that dont have the broadcast power in the Austin area that KVET has. But, they have the rights to stream live around the world, which was their selling point. As for radio, looks like the network is about 30 stations around the state.
Seven year deal, looks like about a million per. So it's less than the Nebraska one you pointed out. But I couldnt find any particulars.
