I still think they were trying to get more money out of the Big 12.

The University of Texas likes its position in the Big 12 Conference
...

No kidding!???

This sucks. Maybe we should consider leaving now? :D

The Big 12 does not have the lucrative TV deals the Big Ten and SEC do, but its day will come, Dodds said. The league's contracts with ABC/ESPN and Fox Sports Net will be up for renewal in 2015.

"That's the year we've got the leverage," Dodds said. "It will be the Big 12's turn."

Not unless there is a population explosion in the Tulsa, OKC, Lubbock, Ames, Wichita, and Collie Station markets...

Without the DFW and Houston markets, the BigXII might as well be the WAC when it comes to TV viewership.

Texas is going nowhere, don't worry about it, they were lucky to get into the Big XII...

Wouldn't the Big 8 be a better comparison?

How about the vaunted Southwest Conference ???

Like there was ever a possibility they'd leave?

Were they tired of only getting 99% of the calls in all sports?
