Seems a little butthurt

@davidubben: Bowlsby on SEC revenue numbers: "A couple of our schools are well over that with the money we give them and what they earn (with 3rd tier)."

I'm guessing he's referring to Texas. I'd like to see who the other is because I don't believe him.

Someone should point out to him that "a couple" is significantly less of a number than 14.

aaannnnnnddd that's one of the reasons 4 schools have left the Big 12 and several others would leave too if they had any other options.

Bowlsby is senile. This is just one the latest of a long history of ridiculous statements that he has made.

I'm sure he's referring to the SECnetwork payout but that doesn't account for all the TV money and SECN was a startup that will only grow in revenue. Besides that we have this tendency to distribute SECN and even bowl $$ equally over 14 schools whereas they distribute things unequally over 10 schools.

I'm quite pleased with how we do things.

As you know, the Big 12 allows its schools to keep its own Tier 3 money, and form institutional networks.

At this time, Texas makes more than SEC teams in TV payouts, and WV, Kansas and Oklahoma are about equal, with Kansas State at $28 million.

What's the baseline, $25 mil per Big 12 team (notwithstanding partial shares), and $32 mil per SEC?

That number doesn't include third tier for Big 12, but I presume it does for the SEC.

West Virginia takes in about 6.75 million for its tier 3 TV for its own network. LINK


Oklahoma makes $7 million on its tier 3 LINK

So that's another 25 + 7 = right at 32 mil.

Kansas gets $6 million LINK

That link also shows K-State gets $3 million to put them at that $28 million.

Texas Tech and Baylor have sold their tier 3 to Fox Sports SW, neither have released those figures.

7 straight national titles and seconds away from 8 straight will make a lot of people outside of the sec jealous and fish for every excuse to make them seem legit. But all I do know is all that money the big 12 is supposedly making is definitely not helping any of their teams win championships.

So...he's bragging that Texas made more money when it was Texas that cost them two of their members in the first place? Somebody's lips are in a very disgusting place on the steer right now.

Is it just me, or does the Texas poster here seem to confirm the idea that the Texas/Big 12 dynamic is like that guy who is in a relationship a bunch of low self-esteem women they don't threaten his masculinity, but then gets jealous of everyone else's hot girlfriend even though he'd be too scared to ask them out?

Not just me, right?

So what he bragged about today is what makes his life harder tomorrow. The man has real vision I tell you. Like my sig quote when he didn't see that the only Power 5 league without a title game would be at a disadvantage.

Bold words coming from the only power 5 conference that doesn't have enough teams to have a conference championship. And the only power 5 conference to get left out of the playoffs.

The sad thing is that they keep catering to Texas and they aren't even relevant any more. They aren't even the best school in their own state. TCU, Baylor, aTm have all passed them by.

Obviously Texas. My guess is he's not real strong on math and doesn't understand what "a couple" is. But it may be OU, I dunno. Whatever, more power to them. If Bowlsby thinks destroying a conference so that one team can profit is a good business model, then I say go for it.

The morons still don't get it, but that's fine.
