Technically the B1G does, no?
My understanding is that they not allowed to negotiate their Tier III rights outside of the B1G Network.
The SEC is contemplating a similar setup.
But ultimately the Tier III rights are somewhat irrelevant. They're a drop in the bucket for most schools and when it gets right down to it, the only schools that make a lot in tier III revenue have virtually limitless revenue streams anyway (i.e. Texas). Tier III rights aren't worth detonating anything over.
The LHN could possibly be much ado about nothing. But then again, so was Poland in 1939, so there's that.
I just don't know what kind of 'concessions' could be granted to satisfy me here. The XII is just too top-heavy and too dependent on 2 teams that have shown a willingness to burn
everyone if its in their own best interests.
But the fact that we know UT and OU have a bit of a wandering eye at this point and the entire XII will collapse if they leave is enough for me to want out.
