In the new BCS playoff stuff being thrown around is not ND left out of the playoff picture? I wonder if ND still has enough power left or iif thw BCS is willing to give them special rules to get them into the playoffs. Are they willing to give the same to BYU or other indys?
Chip Brown ?@ChipBrownOBInclude 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.

Probably the reason why the signing bonuses weren't part of the official release. So the 8 Big 12 survivors, over the span of 24 months, get exit fees from 4 schools while also receiving a $4M signing bonus per school from Fox? Not too bad...
Yeah, ND, thanks but no thanks, dorks. Enjoy playing the military academies every year, you irrelevant losers.Big 12: All or Nothing.
So with the news that Temple is joining the Big East for football in 2012, and all other sports in 2013, does that reduce the buyout that WVU has to pay the Big East?I was under the impression that the reason WVU's buyout was so big ($20 million) was because they were leaving the Big East in a bind by leaving so soon before the season. The Big East was down to 7 teams, forcing them all to scramble and find another noncon opponent and possibly hurting their TV contract as well. With Temple able to immediately step in and replace WVU, doesn't that reduce whatever financial hit the Big East is taking? And shouldn't that result in a lesser buyout for WVU?The reason I ask is because I think it sucks that K-State and all of the other Big 12 schools are each chipping in $1 million towards WVU's buyout. We have a stadium to pay for. We don't need to be sending some of our much needed money to some Rhode Island-based conference.

But we could use the money now, not 5 years from now. And to be honest, there are no guarantees that the Big 12 will still exist in its current form in a few years for us to collect on that loan.
I'm guessing that those ITK see the loan as a good investement. We'll get the money back and adding WVU to the conference adds to the overall strength of the conference in several different senses and will likely result in higher returns for the conference members.
Clemson and FSU have all the financial projections and mock schedules and they are looking closely at the value of a move and what it would cost them to make the jump. Both are waiting to see who is named the Big 12’s new commissioner before further consideration.They need to see the Big 12 make a bold move and select a bold commissioner who lead them to the promised land of TV deals and ensure the conference’s long term stability.And if that doesn’t happen there is no way in Dallas they make a move.

The Big 12 is on the verge of a blockbuster TV contract that will put its media revenue among the top tier of college conferences, despite losing several marquee programs in the last two years.The Big 12 and ESPN are nearing an extension that will earn the conference — combined with its Fox TV contract — $2.5 billion over the next 13 years, according to industry sources. The ESPN extension would run through 2025 and sync up with Fox’s deal.
By network, the Big 12 stands to make $1.3 billion from ESPN and $1.2 billion from Fox over the life of the two deals. ESPN’s old contract with the Big 12 ran through 2016, but the two sides are close on a nine-year extension that will increase the conference’s average revenue from its current $150 million a year to nearly $200 million annually. Each Big 12 school stands to make roughly $5 million more a year in the new contract over the old deal.
