We voted for the policy to share Tier2 rights equally and to increase Tier1 equal sharing from 57% to 76%

That is NOT equal revenue sharing by any definition.

It's not our fault that particular vote didn't extend to full Tier1 rights as well.

Woe is agroid. Woe is thee.

granting media rights to the conference is asinine, especially since no conference in college football currently does this for Tier1/Tier2 rights.


bullshite.

quote:

The Big Ten and Pac-12 members have signed grants of rights, which basically give all of the television rights from each university’s sports to the conference for a specified number of years.

So until you can produce some sort of evidence that we voted against equal revenue sharing WITHOUT IT BEING CONTINGENT on granting our Tier1/Tier2 media rights, your point does not stand.

The A&M official said Wednesday it wasn’t the school’s “concern” how the Big 12 got its money together for the revenue distribution — just that it lived up to its promise of $20 million annually, starting in 2012-13. The league’s pledge is oral, and the A&M official said the school’s lawyers are working to get the commitment in writing.

The scoreboard says that 4 teams have left the Big 12,and that you've replaced them with a MWC team and (likely) 1-3 Big East teams.

If you can sleep at night feeling that the Big 12 is truly better off, and that it is 0% Texas' fault, then more power to you.

We demanded the $20ml after Texas refused to agree to equal revenue sharing. If we were going to stay in the BigXII, there was either going to be equal revenue sharing, or we were going to receive the same revenue Texas and OU did. So no, that isn't evidence of us voting against equal revenue sharing. Care to try again?
