The driving force in all of this has been the close relationship between Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick and Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds.

We reported on Monday that ND will decide in 60 days if it is going to move its non-football sports out of the Big East (and into the Big 12).

It is known that the Irish desperately want to stay independent in football, but might face a decision with its other sports. Playing in the far-flung (for Notre Dame) Big 12 could be a logistical problem (the closest Big 12 school would be Iowa State), but there aren’t many options left. ACC commissioner John Swofford quashed any Notre Dame speculation recently when he said his league is an “all-in, revenue-sharing conference.”

In their dreams. I see no reason why Notre Dame would join ANY conference other than the Big Ten.

The driving force has been PAC and SEC poaching your teams LilXII. The rest has been a fight for survival.

With all of the talk about how football is driving the bus for conference realignment, the Big 12-2-1+1-1+1 would take Notre Dame for everything except football. Would we then call them the Big 12-2-1+1-1+1+1/4?

It could open the door for BYU to be a football-only member, which seems to be their preference.

Ain't gonna happen unless the league lets BYU keep their third-tier rights for their network.

You'd think that wouldn't be a problem for a conference that already bent over for Texas on the same thing.

The schools in the conference have always owned/controlled their tier 3 rights...this
is not a new occurence that started with the LHN.

Not anymore... the conference owns those for the next six years for 9 of the 10 current members, with Mizzou holding back in expectation of an SEC bid.

BYU wanting to retain their third tier rights was a sticking point, which is why TCU was invited over them.

You are talking about Tier I and II rights.

The LHN is the Texas package of its Tier 3 rights.

Quote:
Those revenues come from first-tier games (ABC and ESPN) and second-tier (Fox Sports Network) and also from NCAA basketball games and NCAA men's and women's basketball tournament revenues. But it will not touch additional revenue generated from tier III broadcasts like from Texas' Longhorn Network.

Big 12 board approves pooling of Tier I and 2 rights
