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.

I think one of the only reasons they didn't go full-on indy is that the tie-ins for non-BCS bowls are so conference-driven that it would be a case of "BCS or bust" for them.
ND is an exception to this right now, but only because the Big East's bowl contracts say that a bowl may take ND over a Big East team once every four years.
