I grit my teeth every time I hear someone, whether affiliated with Nebraska or not, use "unequal revenue sharing" as a reason for the Cornhuskers leaving.
They were the biggest proponent of unequal revenue sharing from the very beginning.
Of course, A&M continually voted for unequal revenue sharing, too, but at least A&M didn't use that as the Numero Uno reason for leaving the Big 12, like "Doctor" Tom Osborne.

This isn't accurate. We pushed for equal revenue sharing, but when Texas/OU/Neb refused we demanded an equal share to those schools. That's where the $20mil guarantee came from.

Here's another head-scratcher for the Aggies to answer.
It takes 75 percent of the Big 12 members to change conference bylaws, which translates to 8 out of 10 members (after Nebraska and Colorado left, which was the case during this spring's Big 12 meetings, when the Texas, OU and A&M blockade of equal revenue sharing took place).
If A&M was so adamant about equal revenue sharing, all the Aggies had to do was side with the other seven, and lo and behold, they would've defeated Texas and Oklahoma and changed the bylaws to include equal revenue sharing.
Why did A&M vote to continue unequal revenue sharing, as reported by the three sources I've included? (NBC, CBS and the Columbia (Mo.) Tribune.)

I'm guessing you know better than Boone Pickens and Dr Loftin. Youre so butthurt you can't stand it.
