Texas is thankful to be in a conference with 9 dependants. Occasionally, the kids will get mouthy but in the end they are still the collective ******* of Texas.

Even Oklahoma refuses to stand up against their master.

Whosoever challenges the master shall be banished to the Mountain West or Conference USA.

Heck, if I was Oklahoma, I think I'd balk at this deal simply because there's very little justification for Texas to be making 20 percent more than the Sooners, especially when you add the fact that the deal allows Texas to also set up its own network, further increasing revenue for the Longhorns by roughly $5 million/year after a 3-year setup period (per published reports).

I'll repeat something I mentioned on the previous page; the Big Ten is the only BCS conference that shares equally all the television revenue.

Florida has a regional contract with Fox/Sun Sports that pays them $100 over 10 years which they don't have to share with the other SEC schools. For Sun Sports that turns out to be about 12 cents per household per month.

Texas is staying put in the Big 12 (which is actually the Big 10 now).

Might as well change the name of it, now. I say Southwest Conference or maybe the Texas Conference.

Big 12-lite.

10 teams in the Big 12! And 12 teams in the Big 10!

If everyone does decide to stay in the Big 12 lite (which isn't over yet) they are only delaying the inevitable. In a couple years when the Big 12 still isn't making near as much as everyone else they'll breakup for good.

I'm an Iowa State fan and they rank higher than all the Big 12 candidates they listed for the Big 10 (Fourth in the Big 12 behind Texas, Texas A&M and Baylor, which tells you something...)
