The profit sharing is not equal throughout the conference and they allowed Texas to get its own network. But yeah its totally equal.


The revenue profit sharing is equal. We have a network too. So?

cry me a river about being the least televised team in college football in 2009

Aggy cries all the time, even about issues that they voted for (such as this particular television arrangement).

Aggy thought they would be in the upper tier of most-televised Big 12 teams, hence more money and their support.

It backfired because no one gave a damn about watching aggy. Without scheduling sexier teams than themselves and/or latching on to a conference that gives aggy and Vanderbilt equal play, then aggy would still be following most of their games by radio.

Note that "Smart Post" didn't attempt to refute any of the data I provided and JUSTIFIED what happened.

The SEC would never allow a team to be televised for only 6 regular season games. (2 basically requiring pay per view)

Hey dumbass.......the revenue sharing is equal. Saying it's not over and over against doesn't make it true.

Nebraska and aggy (and Oklahoma) repeatedly and exclusively voted for unequal revenue sharing and for single-school networks, right up to the day ESPN offered The University of Texas $300 million for the Longhorn Network.

Then magically, everything changed.

At least one of your games last season was Pay Per View only...or were there more?

I know your game against West Point was.

Whomever cast the aggy vote supporting such structure allowed it.

That's why aggy is considered such a whiny bitch. You voted for it then started bawling.

yeah. That figures.

I'm just gonna go ahead and leave that standing, and laugh at the simple minded.

That's why they invited TCU. Great recent on-the-field success, but a fan base the size of Allen High School.


Great for conference stability.

The Longhorn Network was announced in January of 2011. Nebraska had already left by then.

You also left out this gem:

quote:

You all know the landscape of the Big 12 Conference was altered by the creation of the Longhorn Network,” Byrne wrote. “We rebuffed an attempt to televise high school games on the LHN, arguing that this type of activity was a clear violation of NCAA rules. The most recent attempt by ESPN is to take highlights of high school games as part of news segments. The NCAA is taking a wait and see attitude on the highlights. I disagree with their stance — as do many of my colleagues across the country. We anticipate that ESPN will continue to push the envelope with the Longhorn Network, regardless of Texas A&M’s conference affiliation.”

(Tom Osborne's) recall of the summer of 2010 is strong. Much of the Big 12 South Division appeared ready to bolt to the Pac-12. There was an agreement in principle to do so, Osborne said.

But then Texas started acting like Texas.

"When Texas would not give up the Longhorn Network, the agreement fell apart," Osborne said. "But we knew Missouri was looking to leave the Big 12. We knew Colorado was looking to leave. The question was, what's left?"

Through all the craziness that summer, Osborne said, he never felt overly stressed "because it just seemed like the way the tea leaves were laid out for us, there was really no question the Big Ten would take us. It wasn't anything I really anguished over. I felt it was the logical move."

What about Texas A&M made the Big XII great when you were here?

That does not prove what you think it proves, Randy.

He was talking about the alleged plan to join the Pac-12, and that plan (which did not involve Nebraska) blew up (between the Pac-12 and the fricking longhorns) when the DeLoss wouldn't give up the LHN, AFTER Nebraska had already bolted.

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.

You know how I know that your confrence is shitty? I find you posting in another confrences message board.

Oklahoma and Texas are losing out on SEC revenues and A&M is taking all of your talent.

A&M has made more in the 7 years they've been in the SEC than they made in the 16 they were in the big 12.

You can't read. The rest of the quote talks about moving to the Big 10 after the meeting.
