Just to add on to this, I think UConn should have to share its CPTV revenues with the rest of the Big East. Sure, UConn's WBB team was built from the ground up by UConn and its coaching staff, its status and branding has helped every school in the Big East by association, and its programming is exclusive to UConn and the state of Connecticut. But since they're in the Big East, UConn should just have to share the money jsut because.

Does this sound right?
But unlike LHN, CPTV has no plans to broadcast he games in any sport.

But thanks for all the info from the "other side" on the UT - AM spat. It's revealing.

. . .

The Big XII blowing up is inconsequential. Texas will have a home, it will be able to retain 90% at least of the LHN as currently composed wherever it ends up . . .

No one disputes that Texas has every right to act in the manner that it has. But I think the
above quote kind of exemplifies the problem. The Big 12 blowing up is inconsequential
because Texas will be all right.

Of course, it isn't inconsequential to Iowa State. But Iowa State doesn't bring much to the
table, so screw them.

Geesh! Is it any wonder that some schools have wanted to separate themselves from the
Big 12 and Texas? Is it any wonder that the Pac 12 schools have had second thoughts about
inviting Texas into the conference?

As to the business of the TV money derived from UConn WBB: If the athletic bus was being
driven by women's basketball, and some members of the conference were threatening to leave
because of UConn WBB TV revenue, then you would have a point that UConn would have to
address if it valued the continued association with the other schools.

But it isn't, they aren't, and you don't.
