T. Boone Pickens sees a future with Big 12 equality | CollegeFootballTalk

T. Boone said on the air tonight that Okie St would not pursue litigation over the A&M deal.

Shatel: Big 12 has been a blessing for Nebraska - Omaha.com

 

[bone3421]

Osborne, then at the peak of his Hall of Fame coaching career, wanted the league to allow its members to accept academic non-qualifiers under the NCAA's requirements for incoming freshmen.

As Osborne wrote in his book, "On Solid Ground," the conference presidents tabled the matter until the spring of 1996, only to hold a conference-call vote in December 1995. The vote went 11-1 to ban the non-qualifiers, with Nebraska the lone dissenter.

That vote has stuck in Osborne's craw to this day, one former colleague said, even though the NCAA banned non-qualifiers from all FBS schools soon after the Big 12 vote.

The league also voted 11-1 to establish a championship game, with Nebraska again the holdout..................osborne going to tell the b1g not to have a championship too

Well basicly every other conference has a revenue sharing plan.

Texas is the last hold out. Just like they were one of the last hold outs to let Blacks play for their school.

Time to change Texas. If you are willing to go to the PAC-Whatever, the B1G which I think you would, you going to have to share there so time to end your fucking greedy ways as wanting to make 100 billion a year and work with the rest of us to find a replacement for aTm, Neb and Colorado.

Ooh and OU will take care of Dan Beebe and that fuck will be working concessions next year in Montana.

LMAO at this thread.

TEXAS DOES NOT DECIDE THE REVENUE SHARING MODEL.

It's a conference decision, and EVERY member has a vote. Texas cant force other schools to vote against it.

I LOVE how people seem to think that somehow Texas controls everyone else's vote.

What was OU's vote on revenue sharing when ESPN signed the contract with Texas for the LHN?

Instead of negotiating their own network deal, they should have took the lead and negotiated a BIG XII network deal with ESPN but no, "We're Texas!" and fuck everyone else.

Get with the program, you know wtf we are talking about.

Let Texas go independent. Hopefully Oklahoma and Kansas join the Pac. Have a 7 school division with a zipper model. If we expand to 16, then add Boise and Oklahoma State.

USC --- UCLA
Oregon --- Oregon State
Stanford --- California
Washington State --- Washington
Arizona State --- Arizona
Utah --- Colorado
Kansas --- Oklahoma

Have the 6 Division Games (or 7) with a Permanent Rival as the 7th game (or 8th), then have a Home and Home with another conference foe in the other divsion every 2 years.

For instance, using OU as an example. They would play
At Colorado
Arizona
At UCLA
California
At Oregon State
Washington
At Kansas
Then they would play USC, At USC, Stanford, At Stanford, Oregon, At Oregon, Utah, At Utah, Washington State, At Washington State, Arizona State, At Arizona State.

If they go to 16 have it like this
Oklahoma --- Oklahoma State
UCLA --- USC
Oregon --- Oregon State
Washington State --- Washington
California --- Stanford
Arizona --- Arizona State
Colorado --- Kansas
Utah --- Boise State

Now that I wrote that, I really Like that 16 school conference.

Fuck Texas, leave them to themselves.

Kansas to the Pac-10 doesn't make any sense. And don't pretend it's about basketball, if they wanted the best basketball conference they would go to the ACC. There are 2 good programs in the Pac-10.

It makes more sense than ACC strictly on geography, not as much as the Big 10 but a hell of lot better than the ACC. Basketball requires more travel than football and KU would be on the east coast too much in the ACC. At least CU, and OU if there are right in their backyard.

Interesting article I read on the basketball portion of ESPN yesterday talked about how all this realignment could really hurt some basketball programs with the increased travel and scheduling.

What was EVERYONE in the conference's vote when a Big 12 network was discussed, including OU

12-0 AGAINST a conference network

Get with the program

 

[eaterfan]

Why would Texas agree to equal revenue sharing in the big 12? Jon Wilner at the San Jose mercury news (the best thing for all things pac) says Texas won't go to the pac because they don't want to be equals of tech, Oregon St. And wsu.

You actually expect us to believe that Texas doesn't control the vote? Politics man. Politics.

 

[Volbound1700]

I wonder about Stoops comments regarding the RRSO. Was he setting everyone up to end the rivalry? Is OU leaving Texas behind?

 

[KansasSooner]

Why is everybody so worried about equal revenue sharing? Face it, it does nothing to foster parity or competitiveness in a conference. Indiana and Northwestern still suck at football in the Big 10, Duke and UVA suck in the ACC, Vandy and Ole Miss still stink it up in the SEC. So what's the big deal? It does nothing but make the lower schools feel better or what? If that is the case why did NU leave, and why is A&M leaving, they weren't really the worst...they're just throwing a hissy fit is all.

Helps keep the athletic department from sinking into oblivion, forcing the school to either cut sports or find money to pour into it. I think you're right that it doesn't really help football competitiveness, but it does sae the athletic departments a whole lot of bad business doesn't it?

That's exactly right, and that's exactly why you should do it.

1-2 million isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things for most teams, but it does make a difference for some. Even more important is, it puts the entire conference on equal footing so far as the conference's revenue is concerned.

It's one thing if Florida makes millions more every year due to our ticket sales and merchandising, it's a completely different thing if we're getting a larger chunk of the SEC pie, as being part of a conference should have equal benefits for all.

In truth, equal revenue sharing takes little from schools like Texas, Ohio State, Florida etc and the goodwill it promotes within the smaller schools is well worth it imo.

Look what it's done to the Big 12, create schisms and factions within the conference and all for what? Pocket change at that level.

Yep. Good post.

What politics? Explain to me how Texas can force every other school in the conference to vote the way they want. Be specific. Show me HOW Texas can make teams vote against their best interests, then tell me why everyone in their athletic department should not be fired if that is the case.
