SEC envy? A bit, I do wish Texas was in a better conference. However, I thought this was compelling after all of the posts talking about Texas taking more in TV revenue than everyone else.

Good point. This could be all smoke and mirrors. I'm not sure they even know how they are going to fund this whole thing and if they can't this whole process will start over. I think it is a band aid and the Big 12 is still going to become extinct in the next few years. I don't know that I would even give it 5 years. Texas should have just become independent. They don't really care that much about conference and do not believe in equal distribution and since that is one of the main purposes of being affiliated with a conference then they should just go independent, create their own network and be done with it. The whole thing is embarrassing for the Big 12. It's only about the money. The conference did not improve itself in fact it can be argued that is was weakened and made less relevant because in most seasons it's just going to be two team battle and everyone else playing for the Carquest Bowl.
