The Big 12 and its beat writers have spent gallons of ink lately touting "equal revenue sharing" for stability. Now this.

A&M's not an SEC member, and won't be treated by SEC fans as a member for a long time. But the Conference? The SEC's offer is for full and complete financial SEC membership from the day we join in 2012.

That is professional, and that is how the SEC chose to operate--as opposed to the Big 12's "K-Mart" approach.

You might have to wait a long time for that.

Arky still gets a lot of "SWC flak" and it was only a few months ago where someone on the SECR was saying would we have been better off staying in the ACC. With that said 20 years later there is a new generation of kids in these schools that knows nothing but an SEC with Arky and SC. If nothing else the rest of the SEC will just have to get used to it.

Are you sure? I thought Texas A&M will receive a prorated share equal to the current SEC payout for 2011. That payout will continue until a new TV deal is reached.

Atleast that's what I read in the NYTimes
