Big12 is still dysfunctional, but at least it’s producing competitive revenue for its members

That means, including tier 3 revenue, OU will bank about $42 million in TV money this year. Texas, roughly $50 million.

Interesting that KU's third tier rights are so low. $5m?

Who cares? UConn is still screwed.

You care.

I believe they will get additional monies due to the fact they will be holding a conference championship game this fall? They may be dysfunctional but they are in great shape financially. If Texas or Oklahoma routinely win the conference championship game this conference may not only survive but actually thrive.

UConn just ended up on the wrong side of the fence in Conference realignment. It's not really anybody's fault. For the time being, we just need try to make the best of a bad situation. Eventually the power conferences will break away from the NCAA and then we won't have to worry about them anymore.

What other schools make in other conferences I don't care about. What UConn makes, I care about. I will no longer pay to watch any conference network that doesn't include UConn. That is the beginning. Others need to do the same.

It is someone's fault. There clearly were many factors involved, but I do believe someone dropped the ball for UConn.

This is a thread about the B12. This is the realignment board where we constantly talk about what other schools in other conferences make. It is all relevant for the college sports landscape.

Just wait until Oklahoma and Texas leave

And replace them with some combination of two from UH, Cincy, USF/UCF or dark horse candidates BYU and/or Colorado St.

I think they'd go for the biggest nutkick possible. UH, Cincy, UCF, USF, BYU and..................UMass.

I cannot be held responsible for my actions if this were this to come to pass.
