As for the SEC Network. Simply put, it's a game changer for Mizzou in a way that nothing else could approach from a financial and exposure perspective.
Presumably, the Big X will eventually join the major conferences in trying to get a TV network started. (although, we thought after last year they'd join them in establishing a football championship game, but they seem to still be in denial about that)

Whether Texas and OU will utlimately be content in their own private conference or decide to set realignment off again will just come down to money. Can they make in the Big X what they'd make in the SEC or PAC 12 or wherever?
