Doesn't the new contract with FSN take effect with the 2012 football season?  Meaning, for 2011 we'll still under the old FSN contract of $19.5 million per year.  Then for 2012, the revenue from FSN will jump up based on the new contract.  I could be completely off.   

Even so, regardless of which year the new contract takes effect, it's amazing how much additional revenue K-State will get every year!  Last June, the Big 12 distributed $139 million.  Of that, $80 million was from TV contracts, and the remaining $59 million came from other sources (conf bball tourney, NCAA tourney, bowls, corp sponsors, etc).  With the new FSN contract, we'll be getting $150 million per year in TV revenue and probably about the same amount of misc other revenue.  Could the Big 12 distribute more than $200 million to it's members???  Since it's not 100% equal sharing, we'll still probably be below $20 million for our cut, but it's still a HUGE upgrade from where we were.

Us K-Staters with being smarter and making more money can just sit back,smile, smoke our pipes and wear our silk robes while we watch the money roll in. KU on the other hand, watch out for heart attacks on the rise from never seeing that much money before.

I bathe and wipe my ass with my B10 network money, sometimes not even in that order so I end up having to bathe in it again to get the ass juice off me..

Michigan could be making way more money under a Big 12 model. UM could start the Wolverine Network and would get paid out more money for TV appearances. Plus your smaller sports could play on TV live instead of being tape delayed. B10 network is nice, but it is a much better deal for the Northwesterns than the Michigans. Big 12 TV deal should be a wake up call to the big schools in the B10. They are leaving tons of cash on the table, and IU NW etc are taking it gladly.

They could have an intermediate Big 10 tier with the rodent schools....Michigan, Wiscy, and Minnesota allied in a rodent network.

Excellent Points CC.

I'd also like to add that in ku tuckdom, the "we had and have options" banner is being unfurled again.  

Apparently what many of them can't seem to get that as of right now the major networks aren't that down with the "super conferences" concept, and as CC pointed out the Big 12 model is exactly what mega programs like Texas wants.

At this juncture it would be absolutely absurd for a school like Texas to entertain anything else because they have exactly what they want, and a reasonable chance to always be at the top or near the top in every sport in this conference, thus ensuring post season entry, and winning; winning boasts TV ratings of their own network.

The round robin format of the Big 12 is an extremely intriguing TV sale as well.

It could be easily argued that the new Big 12 is the wave of the future.

If the UT network succeeds, and there is no reason yet to think it won't, then the Big 12 is in very very stable condition. Its 10 members will be as well off financially as any other school in any other league. Splitting revenue 10 ways while every other conference splits at least 12 ways. Ability to start up your own network. Ability to sell your own 3rd tier rights. Rewarded for winning by unequal postseason/1st Tier distribution.
