Nebraska's vote on TV revenue was BEFORE the ESPN's $300 million dollar interference with the Longhorn Network, was it not???
Now that A&M is going to the SEC, it will be interesting to see what transpires.

Yes. So that means Nebraska voted on a bad deal while writing the rules & forming the Big 12?
Had ESPN offered Nebraska the same deal they did Texas, Nebraska would have turned it down? Prolly not.

But Nebraska would have had no problem sharing the revenue, something that Texas has a big problem with.
You need to remember, Nebraska and Oklahoma built the big 8 to what is was, sharing with the other 6 schools who had limited financial success. When the SWC folded and the remnants came knocking at the door with their hat in their hand, Nebraska was under the impression that it was going to be just like before (revenue sharing, etc.) only with 4 more schools. Didn't turn out that way. It became all about Texas, all the time. You can't be equal partners in something when one of the partners is sandbagging and holding back money.
BTW, there were a LOT of 11-1 votes in the Big 12.
Win, lose, or draw, it's sure nice to see the Huskers on TV every week.

Texas is abiding by the rules as originally written and approved by the conference, including Nebraska.
| Quote: |
The Big 12 splits revenue from its Fox Sports contract evenly, but only half of the money from its top-tier deal with ABC/ESPN goes into equal shares.
|
In other words, when a Big 12 team plays on ESPN, half their gross goes to the conference to be split equally amongst the remaining Big 12 teams, & the other half is kept by the televised team.
What is not fair about that? That's the way the SEC splits it.

The "Partial Qualifier" vote comes to mind. 
| Quote: |
| On the partial qualifiers rule, Osborne said, “Where this rule can hurt you is if a player is considering Nebraska and Ohio State or some other school in the Big Ten.” Osborne was an historically deft recruiter, but it’s always difficult to recruit and get a top recruit to play in Nebraska. The weather in Nebraska is one thing, and the idea that there isn’t anything to do in Nebraska is another. On that note, how does a Nebraska, a Kansas, or a Missouri compete with the Florida, Texas and California schools when it comes to top tier recruits? Why would one damage their ability to recruit in this regard? The NCAA does not limit the number of partial qualifiers a school can recruit, but each individual conference has this ability. The Big 12 enforced the strictest standards of any conference. They limited the number of partial qualifiers to one male and one female. The Big 10 does not have such standards. The Big 10 focuses their standards on a student that is enrolled in school. In other words, the Big 10 does not limit the recruit, until he is in school. At that point, if he doesn't get his grades up he won't play, but the Big 10 does not limit its schools in their recruiting procedures. |

Texas is arrogant, prima donna,holier than thou, school who thinks so highly of itself that the rest of us don't need to praise it...JUST LIKE NU,
that being said, the REAL villian in the deal is ESPN. they pushed the LHN to reality, they are offering back room tv deals, they are reporting false stuff to move the conference break up...
ESPN is aa monopoly that needs broken up |
Short followup. Longhorn Network seems to be sucking the hind tit down this way. Even running commercials asking folks to call their cable networks as well as Dish and Direct to try and get them to carry it. Truth is nobody gives a damn about them except the grads from Teasip U.
