I feel bad for Nebraska honestly. They were fighting the good fight against the Texas block along with Colorado, aTm and Mizzou.
It's pretty telling that all the institutions in the Big 12 with the clout and cache as programs to make a move did, in fact, do so when that decision presented itself.
That was an indictment on the Texas AD at that moment in time.
I feel bad for our former Big 8 brothers and sisters like Iowa State and kansas State. I actually feel bad for West Virgina, they were forced into that mess but deserve better. Little sympathy for Okie State because Oklahoma and Oklahoma State could have saved out old Big 8 if they didn't vote with the old Texas SWC block on some things. You reap what you sow as they say...
I know some of you hate us/ hate we are here/ but I have never felt you don't have our back when its all said and done and that's a pretty cool feeling and one we, Mizzou fans, haven't had since the Big 8/SWCmerger in the early 90's

bullshite. A&M and Nebraska voted WITH Texas to NOT have a conference network, to have unequal revenue sharing and to allow schools to keep and sell their third-tier TV rights.
What a load of shite.
quote:
Before Weiberg helped the Big Ten launch the Big Ten Network, and before Weiberg helped the Pac-10/12 launch the Pac-12 Network, he tried to talk his Big 12 constituents into a Big 12 Network. Tried to tell them that a conference television channel would produce financial bounty and exposure galore.
Weiberg never could sell it to enough Big 12 schools. The rich — Texas, OU, Nebraska and Texas A&M — figured they were better off keeping their options open. Figured they could do better on their own, with school-specific media-rights deals.

quote:
Former Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg expressed frustration when he left his job the summer of 2007, saying that the issue could potentially prove to be divisive for the league's growth.
But with the Big 12's bylaws requiring a super majority of nine votes to overturn any league funding policy, it was difficult to imagine any scenario where the bloc of the "haves" that includes Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas A&M would ever be outvoted.
