1) The money that KU, MU, KSU, et al are "giving up" to Texas and the other bigs is really in the form of a guaranteed floor meaning that if the upcoming TV revenues get those big schools to that floor on their own, the little boys won't have to really give up anything.

2) As far as scheduling is concerned, the word is that in football, everyone would play everyone else once (9 games) leaving 3 non-conference opportunities and in basketball, everyone would play a home and home with all 9 conference opponents (18 games).

Edit: Oops, I thought I was on the last page, but I was way behind. Sorry if this has already been clarified.
