NU was not the only dissenting vote in the big 12. That's a myth. It always voted for unequal revenue sharing. The only time it dissented with UT was for (a) letting stupid people into universities and (b) moving the offices to Dallas. Both votes, by the way, they weren't the only dissenting voice, there were others. Nebraska (and OU, A&M) made it about who had the biggest dick and then ran off when UT whipped theirs out to show who really had the biggest dick.
Uh, NO. At the initial meetings for the formation of the Big 12 NU was the only one dissenting vote. Osborne's quote was that the Big 12 would one day become Texascentric.
When the Big 12 formed in 1996, Texas engineered the rules in its favor (after all, Texas didn’t need partial qualifiers when it had more blue-chip talent within 100 miles of its campus than the entire Big 12 north combined). The rest of the league went along, because they wanted to knock Nebraska off its pedestal.
Now, these schools are left to deal with the mess they helped create. Texas, now with ESPN in its back pocket, continues to splatter longhorn dung on its conference mates in its quest for more money.
