Big 12. They created a network just for them. Not sharing the revenue with conference. Unequal funding. They received a bigger portion of the revenue money from the conference than the other schools.


All of which were enabled by the rules which TAMU voted for.

ESPN handed us a bucket of cash and a network. TAMU would've turned that down? No way.

Bucket of cash is hard to turn down, agreed.
But there’s waaaaay more to the issue than that.

One example: They were originally going to leverage the LHN to become an illegal recruiting advantage by showing Texas HS games that primarily featured Texas recruits. They gave up on that once it became public.
