* Great confidence in viability of 10 team league
* Money numbers not guaranteed, they are projections based on discussions with tv people, a perceived collective value. No new contracts thus far. Will leave it up to Big 12 officials.
* Not a part of the financial discussions thus far about the special deals certain teams would get - some of this money stems from exit penalties expected from NU and CU
* Can't discuss Pac 10 negotiations - but they are great professional people
Texas and their Commissioner just made the MWC a better football conference than theirs.

And unless the Big 12 minus minus can either get two more teams or change the NCAA rules against sub-12 member conferences not having a championship game, no network with any sense is going to pay enough to cover the guaranteed $$$ that is being promised.
I recognize that not everyone is fond of the championship game format, but it is clearly a cash cow which in today's economics cannot be simply discarded without serious thought.

Who actually believed the media contract would be a hard fast deal done in 24 hours? I'd be suspicious if he said anything other than what he did.
