Message: [QUOTE="southie, post: 3909473, member: 2527"] Folks forget that schools like Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Texas were all in favor of each member Big 12 school managing their own third-tier TV rights; none of the big players wanted equal-revenue sharing during the conference's inception. 15 or so years later, when Texas was offered the Longhorn Network (and $15 million a year) by ESPN for its third-tier rights, the other schools cried about it. Nebraska never would have left the Big 12 had they still been competing for football championships; their program started falling behind Oklahoma and Texas, and they were without a championship since 1999. I guess they figured they'd have more football success in the B1G; hasn't happened one iota. They also just finished in last place in men's hoops. So, in the most visible of men's sports, Nebraska not doing well at all. [/QUOTE]
