Cant blame B12. They want their money.
I don't think it is really the big 12 at this point as much as Fox. It sounds like the Big 12 realized how much of a disaster scheduling was this year and wants to get back to a functional rotation without Texas and OU. Its not Texas or OU paying money but Fox wanting the big draw inventory and more importantly making sure that that inventory doesn't get on ESPN.
The other issue is that it drags out any form of attempts to peel off some of the Pac-12 schools (which the B12 wants but most likely Fox is leery of).
