Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 4532040, member: 1737"] MH ver3@MH ver3 · 36m Just got a tidbit from my B12 source telling me that member schools may vote to use the TXOU $100m exit money as buy-in money for western additions. Not sure what he means by that yet. MHer3@MH ver3 · 32m Edit to previous post: Fox is getting $20m from the $100m and 3 OOC games to satisfy the deal. B12 member schools will be voting on what to do with the other $80m and will be made whole on the money they paid the 4 additions for 2023. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 30m B12 had TXOU over a barrel. Why did they let them off so relatively easy? Because ESPN wanted it. And we need ESPN in our corner for the next act. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 25m Something else TXOU early exit did: it weakened the once-ironclad Grant of rights. Sure it was only a year but it proves anything can be negotiated down. ACC poaching could begin a little earlier than expected. Not imminent-but not 10 years down the road. [/QUOTE]
