This is why the PAC and SEC are following in their footsteps, and it is why the Big 12 will continue to fall behind the pack in terms of overall conference TV revenue.

The Big 12 has like half of the alumni base around the country as the Big10 does.
Demand for a Big 12 network just isn't there.
Big money comes from individual schools...Texas, Kansas Basketball etc.
Everyone is free to start their own and make what they want with 3rd tier money.
Obviously the content is what is to be monitored, most notably high school sports highlights.
