I believe in an even balance of income.

No big deal.

Advertisers spend more on CBB than they do on CFB.

I don't make the rules.

You're welcome.

Love,

Nebraska, Colorado, Texas A&M, and Missouri

No kidding. If none of those schools had left, it would be foolish to think the Big XII would have made any moves towards equal revenue sharing.

Missouri really pushed Texas to share more revenue. The other teams should really be thanking Missouri instead of exhibiting so much bitterness.

I would agree, Mizzou pushed harder than the others. Nebraska and CU left because they just did not want to be here anymore. I think Mizzou wanted to stay, but just could not buy into Texas staying. If Texas/OU had not openly flirted with the Pac-12 the day after everyone committed to the conference, I think Mizzou stays. Once that happened, Mizzou was not willing to believe anything coming out of Austin.

I don't think it's bitterness - I think it's just the mutual hate that both sides have displayed for years.

Wait....is "the day after" the same day that MU wouldn't fully commit to the Big 12?

Listen to Keitzman (or any of his callers) for five seconds; it is clearly bitterness.

Thanks MU! Good luck!

Fair enough. I don't listen, nor obviously participate in any of those radio shows.

No, that was later. Mizzou was still a proud member of the Big XII conference.

If I remember correctly, and I very well may not be..... Once A&M left, MU never would commit to the Big 12 even after all the schools, including Texas & Oklahoma, signed over TV rights.

I think you're right. The writing was on the wall and Mizzou actually wanted to he honest with the other schools. Not do a fake ass commitment then go try to make a deal with the Pac the next day.

The Big XII had a meeting. Everyone agreed that they wanted to keep the conference together (except for A & M, they were on the verge of their SEC announcement). The next day, the headline was not "Big XII Solidarity"...it was "Texas and OU are in negotiations with the Pac-12". This was before the signing over of TV rights was considered a possibility.

It could be I suppose. Gary Pinkel explained it in a KK interview after it was all said and done. Wonder if it is still floating around on the 810 website.
