NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - Texas isn't the only Big 12 school looking into whether it should start its own TV network.

Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione said Tuesday that the Sooners are also interested in the possibility. He says the school has already invested $3 million in a high-definition video facility on campus.

He says the school doesn't have a time frame for the project and is still deciding how the network would be made available to customers and fans. He says research suggests the network could be a success.

Texas agreed to stay in the Big 12 this week in part after getting assurances that it retains local media rights, including the possibility of a Longhorns network.
