It ain't no thing my purp-sippin brothas.  OU and Texas were done pimpin' that big red ass so we let big daddy Michigan and his bad person cousin Ohio State slap 'em around for a bit.  Once a biotch always a biotch 

So is that why UT kept KSU in the Texas 10? They liked getting their burnt orange butts pimped?

They are a proud bunch and think that if they keep us around, someday far off in the future they might beat us in something.

Equal revenue shares for Big 12 Fox Deal

One of the most noteworthy decisions by the league ADs was to equally distribute nearly $1 billion in revenues to be generated over the life of a 13-year conference partnership with Fox Sports for second-tier football television rights.

That decision is in stark contrast to how most television revenue was divided in prior years.  Prior to this decision, the majority of television revenue was provided to the schools that appeared on the actual telecasts.

As a result of this decision, the Big 12 will now share its overall revenue more equally than any time in its history– clearly a sign that the 10 institutions are committed to the “new Big 12”.

I think this is more symbolic than anything.  With pretty much all conference games guaranteed to be on Fox Sports or FX in the new contract, the revenue from that deal would have been split pretty evenly to begin with.

You don’t say

“We’re going to keep it at 10 so the KU grads can count the number of schools in the conference.”

—Kansas State president Kirk Schulz, joking at Rotary today about why the Big 12 conference will stay with only 10 schools

Only improvement he could have made would be to make reference to being able to keep track of conference teams without having to take their shoes off.  Still, very well done.

Yeah, this is a pretty logical move that sounds more interesting because of the Big 12's history of unequal revenue sharing. The 1st tier rights are still distributed based on who gets on TV the most. And all of the schools that stayed in the league like it that way -- you get rewarded for doing well.

Texas is our friend who is a junior in college who is hooking us up with a case of Beer 30 for prom and when we try to pay him 5 bucks for a tip, he chuckles and says "forget it, man, just have fun tonight, eh?"

Texas is clearly doing this to piss off Nebraska.

Agreed.

Though, personally I'd say that we are the Junior in college and Texas is the Alumn with the sweet ass job who rolls up in his Mercedes and says, "You can use my condo for spring break."

No idea. I seem to remember from a charity event a friend of mine helped put on that the AD only supports select charities, and said they were unable to donate or endorse anything outside that list. Can't remember if that was Pre-ADJC or post... I guess you could email marketing or the development office.

So with all the Fox/FX Gus Johnson-ey coverage now, does this mean I'll get to watch the Khatz wherever I am in the country with relative ease?  Or will I still have to just crap my pants hoping to get a stream from somewhere?

I think the FSN channels are still mostly regional...I'm not sure if that is to change.

[SkinnyBenny]

It's kind of crazy to look back on what was going on a year ago at this time and put it all in perspective.  If nothing else, it just makes me smile and shake my head wistfully at what was without question the greatest internet meltdown of all-time.  God those were good BBS'n days.  I still think that someone could take the best parts of this thread and make a hell of a coffee table book out of it.

I like how our current schedule with the thursday games are preparing us as a fanbase for this.

Leaves our weekends completely free for crafts/projects  

In truth, Dan Beebe COULD turn this around and try and poach other schools to fill the ones that are obviously going to leave us.  

For example, Louisville and Cincy could both be looking....pair that with select teams from the MWC and MAC, and I suppose we could be close to holding on to a BCS bid.

We'd almost be better off just approaching the MWC right now and asking if they'll take us.....lock in our spot.  They have 9 now, and adding Boise State takes them to 10.  I'd hate to miss out on them moving to 12.  

Everybody step back from the ledge.  Tim Weiser and Dan Beebe will figure this out.

Plus, according to the powertards this is still at least 3 to 4 years out.

[MadCat]

1 year ago was certainly more exciting than what we have now.  

Only 3 more months until gameday

[SkinnyBenny]

Agreed.  Now we are pretty much relegated to news about how insanely rich(er) we're about to become as a Q@ family.
