you seem to forget that Dodds and Powers over at texas have said multiple times they do not want to go back to 12 and have clearly implied that this is b/c they believe it makes the road to the BCS easier


It is also because they agreed to equal revenue split & 1/10th is greater than 1/12th. And neither West Virginia, UL, or BYU is going to increase the pot enough to add two shares.

the conference is always screwed so long as the LHN exists.

The Big 12 can't create a proper conference network without texas.

If they can't create a network, the conference will not be worth staying in after the 6 years of their pact is up.

This.

The Baylor AD was on radio today and apparently said that the TV folks have told them that they have to have 10 teams to keep the current contract, but, if they go beyond 10, the money isn't going up, so going to 11 or 12 would mean everyone taking less. Not likely to happen.
