The Big 12 is actually not as bad off as people assumed it would be after 2011.
I would say its the fourth Power 5 conference right now, with the PAC being behind the rest on money, exposure and success.

Big twelve is doing surprisingly good in revenue right now too. I still think the longhorn network should go away. But o well i guess.

Yeah splitting more money with fewer teams works out well for them. Most Big 12 programs aren't making SEC or B1G money, but they are making more than any PAC program.

Maybe.
But [then] Lt. Governor Bob Bullock played a much larger role.
quote:
Texas's Governor Ann Richards, a Baylor and UT alumna, is often credited with getting Baylor included, but, was absent from the February 20 meeting and no investigative reports confirm her active involvement. The Baylor Report claimed that she presented herself as neutral. Richards' former Chief of Staff, John Fainter, is on record saying "She just was not involved to any great degree in working that out...I'd have to say she was informed, but she wasn't pounding the table or anything like that." Richards was aware of the public perception of her involvement and the thought amused her.
Baylor President Herb Reynolds thanked Bullock and the other politicians for helping Baylor get into the conference. Despite Baylor's strong credentials, clearly Reynolds felt the politicians played a key role in getting the Bears and Texas Tech into the new conference. The minutes of the February 23, 1994 meeting of the Baylor Board of Regents where the Big 12's invitation was accepted state, "Baylor University owes a strong debt of gratitude to Lt. Governor Bob Bullock, Senator David Sibley, Senator John Montford, Representative Rob Junell, and other legislators for their invaluable assistance during the deliberations leading to the acceptance of the invitations."

The ACC doesn't want Baylor.
True to form, Baylor will force itself on a conference.
Yes, that was a rape joke.
But it was also a Baylor joke. They force conference members to include them...(SWC to Big 12, suing A&M)

Oklahoma City and Tulsa certainly bring in TV markets that are equal to most in the SEC.
On pace with Dallas, Houston and Kansas City?
No sir.

Close. The Lieutenant Governor at the time, Bob Bullock (who ran unopposed for nearly 30 years and went against his own party to back George W. Bush against Ann Richards) had degrees from and ties to both Texas Tech and Baylor.
