However you have to know your place if you're TCU when it takes schools with a much bigger brand like Nebraska to leave before you even get a seat at the table.

It is an interesting point. The Big 12 brought in a school with fewer than 10k students and is going to hand 10% of its payouts to them. TCU, by far the smallest school involved in major conference realignment, is milking the conference for all it's worth...so they must have had quite a bit of leverage.
Outgoing schools had 150,000 total students. Incoming schools had 30,000. Pretty sweet deal for those two schools if you ask me.
