Just stop.

The Big 12 paid out, what, $22 million last year? I know it's posted somewhere down the thread but don't have that at the top of my head (I remember it being like $2 million more than the SEC payout, and those schools got something like $20.5 million).
Even the biggest Tier 3 rights for those local schools in the Big 12 are producing what, $8-10 million/year (Kansas?) So they're looking at $30-32 million a year at the top end. That's about in line with what the B1G has received recently (actually a little more than full members like Iowa are receiving... which Nebraska is not until 2017).
That's what I'm referencing when I'm talking about "Dwarfing." SEC schools are looking at a potential payout of around $45 million/year at the top end in year 1. Or about 150 percent of what the other local schools yanked in.
If I made $50,000 a year and you made $75,000, would not consider that salary to DWARF the first one?
If my numbers are off for the Big 12, let me know.
