I wish I made $500 / hour.

[Brock Landers]

$12.4m for both Mizzou and TAMU. 

eff that.

Oh I really enjoyed this part:  However, the parties agreed that A&M will receive a portion of the benefit received by the Big 12 Conference from the signing of its television contract with Fox Sports, scheduled to commence July 1, 2012, and certain other concessions. 

Unreal.  We're allowing them to get some benefit from the new TV contract.  Who was it that said the Big 12's lawyers are pussies, was that Limestone?  JFC.

$3 million of free money for each school left in the conference, I'll take it.

As part of WVU's settlement with the Big East, didn't each school in the Big 12 agree to chip in $1 million towards WVU's buyout?  I think I remember reading that.  If so, subtract $1 million from the $3 million we'll be getting from MU/A&M.

This is pure bullshit.  Looks like it'as easier to exit the Big XII than the Big East.  WVU pays 20mil to leave, mainly because of MU, and they weasle out of the conference for a measly 12.4mil.

Chip Brown ?@ChipBrownOB
Include signing bonus from new Fox deal waived by Texas A&M ($2 mil) and Missouri ($4 mil) and their combined B12 exit total is $31 mil.


If true, why wasn't this in the official release from the conference?  Mizzou forfeits the entire $4 million signing bonus and A&M forfeits half.

jesus christ we spend a shitload on officiating.

Men's basketball officials are paid about $1000 each official every game plus travel expenses which I'll estimate at $500.  Quick math tells me that it cost $450,000 for the three on court officials for just conference games for men's basketball.

Yeah, but that's divided by ten schools. Sounds like a racket.

Where does the other $4.55MM go?

You realize I said that number was just for men's basketball conference games only.  It doesn't count non conference nor officials expenses for the 23 other sports that the conference sponsors.

Neinas said today that the 10M portion of the exit fee the league is paying is an interest bearing loan to WVU.   

[kstater]

Neinas also said the exit fees were more than the 12.4M reported.  Also declined to further comment.

Wouldn't you?

I don't think I would.  I mean, Neinas wouldn't even have this sweet part time gig if this all didn't happen.  I guess the only hate that would make sense would be MU hate and only because he was part of the Big8 for a while and they are leaving what was something he probably was quite fond of.

MU and A&M kinda made it where Neinas got a lot of national attention, I am sure there is a great paycheck involved, and he probs looks like a hero when all is said and done for keeping the rest of us together.  He may not be looking for a next gig due to his age, but if he is this did a bunch for him.

Who knows how legit this guy is, but some interesting Notre Dame to Big 12 talk.

I would be totally down with an 11 team (UL) Big 12 in FB and a 12 team in BB w/ ND.  I would love to play ND at Cowboys Stadium some year.  No way they would ever come to Manhattan.

Scenario 2 is my fav. But I like scenario 1 as well

 

[steve dave]

ND can take their program and shove it up their own face if they don't want to join period as far as I'm concerned.  slap to the face of texas. 

[bws]

 ND will never join in FB. Its just a cultural thing with them. But they bring more money with a weird scheduling agreement and basketball than Rutgers, Cincy, and all those other scrub schools we could invite.

[steve dave]

Hey, ND, thanks but go eff yourself

[p1k3]

Hey, ND, thanks but go eff yourself

yeah screw them. Having ND join with everything but football makes us seem desperate again. Were the Big 12. Were on top of the rough ridin' world.

[steve dave]

we have texas for eff sakes.  they wipe their asses with nd a&s degrees. 

[bws]

Having Cincy or Rutgers or UConn or whoever else makes us look way more desperate than having ND.

ND (non Fball) and UL is the best we can do to stay at 16-20 mil per team, unless we hit a hail mary pass and get Miami, FSU, Clemson (Not f'ng happening).

[steve dave]

nd non-football should be called aids.  yeah, we added aids to our schedule in everything but football. how does that sound you rough ridin' idiots?

[SkinnyBenny]

Holy eff, you know what would be awesome?  If we got Notre Dame for all sports except the only one anyone gives a crap about.
