[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3610880, member: 26737"] I'm not exactly in favor of it, but this is all about the Benjamins. If we assume the numbers posted above are correct and OU and saxeT are generating half of the Big 12's revenue, but only getting 10% back, that's not going to be a sustainable model--especially if the SEC contracts really are netting Mizzou more than OU is getting from the Big 12. And if Bowlsby's response was as tone-deaf as I heard, there's virtually no incentive for OU and UT to remain in the Big 12, and plenty of impetus to tell the conference to pound sand. You're not losing any sleep over the idea that your two biggest programs are looking at leaving? Seriously? There likely wouldn't even be a Big 12 today if OU hadn't stepped up with its unwavering support after the Cornshuckers fled to the Big 10 and TAMU slunk off to the SEC. Even if you're certain they're staying, you can't say that stuff out loud... [/QUOTE]
