LOL. Whatever you say.

Oklahoma, Tech, Kansas and Kansas State have formed their own third-tier networks, branded as a school network.

I am positive that Oklahoma, Kansas, West Virginia and Texas each exceeded the $5 million per-team payout from the SEC network with each of their own third-tier deals.

Oklahoma - $5.8 million/year over 10 years

Tier 3 rights don’t guarantee a massive payout and can vary greatly – West Virginia’s $9 million lands between Kansas’ $6.5 million payout from the Jayhawk Network and the massive $15 million that Texas makes each year from its Longhorn Network

You might know more about A&M's alltime records than me, but this is my wheelhouse. I have talked to people high up at A&M and another Big 12 school about it. I have read the Big 12 GOR or the non-redacted LHN contract many times. I know realignment like you know your boyfriend's butthole, and there is no way to justify the greed of Texas other than "big dicks swing, Aggy."

And yes those teams NOW have a network, because THEY HAVE TO! Otherwise they all fall behind other conferences in money and exposure. Texas won't fold the LHN into a Big 12 Network like would be reasonable considering its a distribution disappointment. Those networks are a better than nothing situation. A Big 12 Network would be better for all, including maybe Texas.

You like quoting sources, here is a good one:

The Longhorn Network is a boulder in the road. It really is.


That is from the fricking conference commisser. Sounds like he just loves the LHN and all the other peasant networks. You must be right. Texas is the good guy obviously.

Too bad in five years we will make more TV money. SEC Network year 1 or 2 money is just the start.
