Nebraska had three (maybe more) PPV games (tantamount to its own network) in 2008.

PPV games are not even CLOSE to a branded single team network that intends to abuse Texas's control of the state's high school football to get the high school championship game on there. PPV was a way to monetize junk inventory, not create a recruiting advantage above all others (that backfired). Every team could do PPV, only one team had ESPN abusing the conference Tier 1 tv deal to subsidize a team network for them.

For a network we agreed on one fricking game, and y'all signed a contract promising y'all would push for three without talking to us. That was the nail in the coffin. Greed killed the Big 12, y'all should have told ESPN "No, we need to talk to the conference first." a Bama would. A USC would. A Ohio St. would. How do I know? Becuase they share the money evenly today. For them money isn't worth problems in the conference. But Texas is too good for that kind of humility act.

And yes the Big 12 voted to allow that shite when we left and Mizzou abstained. It was either that or y'all go independent and everyone was fricked. That isn't a decision, that is coercion.
