I feel bad for Nebraska honestly. They were fighting the good fight against the Texas block along with Colorado, aTm and Mizzou.
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.

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.

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.

So did Missouri as a way to self-sustain once the writing was on the wall.
Why would Nebraska opt into a JR membership in the B1G and aTm and Mizzou leave in a heartbeat to the SEC if the bread was buttered so well for them as far as 3rd tier rights in the Big 12?
Colorado abstained from the vote because they were done with Texass LONG before Mizzou, aTm and Nebraska gave up on your sorry asses.
Texas overplayed its hand and now the Longhorn network is a financial failure for ABC/Disney while Mizzou and aTm helped bolster the most successful conference network in college sports. Even Nebraska has now bought into the B1G network enough as a JR member to start pulling in the financial rewards. Don't lie, you get the SEC Network on your first tier while they secretly moved the LHN to the 2nd tier. Its hilarious how much this has blown up in Texasss face.
You destroyed 2 conferences in 20 years. People are tired of y'all and have no desire to welcome you into try and do the same. The SEC sure as frick doesn't need you, the B1G would laugh at your strong arm bullshite. Maybe the PaC would take you....don't know, don't care.
frick you for what you did to the awesome Big 8 and really college football in general.

Here's hoping you can keep your B12 alive and limping along for several more decades. I get a fair amount of enjoyment watching the clown show. I'm especially happy about KU and OU being trapped there by their little brothers while Mizzou rakes in the SEC cash and exposure.
