Big 12 Expansion - Translating Boren's comment

[Lance Armstrong]

They complain the conference is too Texas-centric not because of the amount of Texas tems but because everything revolvs around Texas University

The big 12 basically belongs to the state of Texas, adding Houston would make it worse for the non Texas schools.

read a better article the nuehisial said usc and ucla have actually lost money since the pac12 network creation.....

Well I heard an interview with ESPN saying Kansas State makes double the tier 3 money that USC and UCLA does, so I could see that.

I know - not many teams outside of Texas though

Expanding west will be bad for WVU. They seemed like an odd ball B12 team anyway.

Piss on this...delaying the inevitable. Just dissolve the damn thing and let the schools make their sales pitch to the conference(s) of their choice. If no conference buys that pitch, then they are just SOL. One needs to dissolve anyway in order to get to the magic number of 4. Big 12 has the fewest to disrupt.

Problem is nobody wants to give up their Tier 3 money to go to the Pac.

DING DING DING, WINNER! People think it's all about Texas and the LHN, but people outside the conference who do not know shit do not realize OU isn't just going to volunteer and give up the $9M a year they make in 3rd tier, KU isn't going to volunteer to give up the $8M they make in 3rd tier, WVU isn't going to give up the $8M year they make in 3rd tier and KSU isn't going to give up the $5M a year they make in 3rd tier and take a massive pay cut just to create a conference network that more than likely will fail just like the Pac 12 network.
