The Big 12 has been in bad shape since 2009.

I think the thing that really started our wanting to move was the disgusting way we were treated in the 2009 season.

I can't repeat this enough, but during the regular season, A&M was only televised in any form 6 times out of the 12 games in the 2009 regular season. Out of those 6 games, two were on effectively a pay channel with only a 480i feed at best (Fox College Sports - Central).

New Mexico - No TV
Utah State - No TV
UAB - No TV
Arkansas (Arlington) - ESPN2
Oklahoma State - FSN National
at Kansas State - Fox College Sports Central (PPV)
at Texas Tech - No TV
Iowa State - No TV
at Colorado - Fox College Sports Central (PPV)
at Oklahoma - FSN Regional
Baylor - No TV
t.u. - ESPN

A&M was the least-televised team in college football and the ONLY Big 12 team in 2009 not to appear on ABC.

Might because they were not any good like here in the SEC
A&M is too worried about boogie men instead of winning football games
You cannot hide from your rivals. Truthfully it makes us in the SEC lose respect for you

looking at that schedule....that was about 3 or 4 games too many.

Also, it wasn't just y'all that were shat upon. It was every team not named Texas.
