I also think the deal-breaker on this, other than the money amount, was that "chance for each school to have its own network."
So, here's hoping to see something like,
"Wildcat Network"
"PowerMizzou TV"
"RockChalk Network"
Each university could make some money on the side in their own terms.
And at the same time, as a 10-team league, the Big 12 would be more profitable than having a 12 team, IMHO. While losing Nebraska does hurt in terms of value, losing Colorado was a god-send, because Colorado was CLEARLY underperforming, and was not worth a shit keeping.
And most likely, Nebraska and Colorado will eventually have to pay the exit penalty.
Pay up, suckass!
