Regarding the 'massive' Big 12 TV deal - it's a pipe dream.
Texas is going to insist on its own TV network as a condition to keeping the Big 12 alive. It's going to tell Big 12 leadership that it's only going to decline the Pac-10 deal if the B12 consents to the UT network with UT keeping the revenue. If Texas has it's own Network, the Big 12 TV deal is worth about a buck fiddy.
The Big 12 is dead. Be it this year or in 3 years -- it's ****ing dead. By whoring out to Texas, the Big 12 has ensured that it's little more than UT's bitch.
You simply cannot allow one school to control a conference like this. Beebe was too damn stupid to realize it.
It's over. If they want to limp along for another year or two, maybe they can. But the Big 12 as a legitimate major conference is done.
