Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe said no new TV deals have been struck, but he has "extremely strong verification, based on our analysis with our consultants and others, and media companies themselves, that we are in a tremendous position to execute future agreements that will put our member institutions on par with any in the country." He did not provide any numbers during a conference call with reporters.
Who is we:
quote:
Texas, already the richest and most powerful of the Big 12 schools, is convinced it can make even more money in a 10-team league."The Big 12 (television) package is going to be every bit as good as any other conference," Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds said. "We are in good shape on the television side." And by staying in the Big 12, Texas can explore whether it should start its own Longhorns TV network. If they had moved to the Pac-10, Texas would have had to surrender its media rights. Texas women's athletic director Chris Plonsky said the network, which would broadcast Texas sports and other university events, should bring in "millions" to the school.
I promise I"m good for it:
quote:
Some of the league's smaller schools are giving up cash for the promise of keeping the league together and more money later.
Eat it & like it:
quote:
Kansas, Kansas State, Baylor, Iowa State and Missouri - who were in danger of being left homeless if the conference dissolved - agreed to give up their share in buyout penalties to be paid by Nebraska and Colorado for leaving the league, Beebe said. The idea is to have that money go to Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma, the schools the Big 12 needed to stay to remain viable, to make up for the difference in revenue those three might have made going elsewhere. Though the amount of the penalties has not been disclosed, the Colorado athletic director Mike Bohn confirmed his school's penalty for leaving the Big 12 "could be" around $9 million.
Mizzou can be so cute sometimes:
quote:
Late Tuesday, Missouri officials said they have not agreed to give up their share of the buyout penalties. "In no way do we expect to be hurt financially," Missouri chancellor Brady Deaton said.
Sure you did:
quote:
"We committed to the Big 12 before we knew what Texas A&M was going to do. We are delighted Texas and Texas A&M will be in the same conference," UT President William Powers said.
What top-down nature? You haven't watched ESPN?:
quote:
One thing that could still fracture the conference are hurt feelings. Missouri officials had hoped for an invitation to the Big Ten and other less-influential members may not appreciate the top-down nature of the conference.
Lets hug it out:

"We live in athletics," UT AD DeLoss Dodds said. "We beat each other up on Saturdays, we hug each other on Sunday."

Well, let's be honest, those bottom feeders have been leeching off of OU and UT for there revenues for years now.

See, thats just it: those schools have been clearly told they are bottom feeders by their own conference brethren. This won't make for a happy family, regardless of what the UT AD says.
How about when the Commish declined to discuss any figures regarding all the extra $ coming in? This is going to be the most jacked up, unfair revenue distribution in any conference. The books will look like AIG.
A good question to ask may be: will UT actually cause the Big Whatever to go financially bust along the lines of a Wall Street Fail, where the guys at the top made off with zillions while the company tanked and everyone else was screwed? Robber baron mentality?
This is no way to run a conference.

I am sure those consultants don't have a vested interest in claiming the conference is worth a hell of a lot more than it actually is. This shite is so laughable.

Do they really think anyone actually believes what they say (other than ESPN being a mouthpiece)? How do they pull this off with a straight face?
