On that we agree


When this all kicked off, there was a lot of numbers flying around and then it got quit as the lawyers entered the room, but the investigative reporting done by 365 has been corroborated in their follow up interviews by various members of the Big-12 and their numbers are the source I am using for this. They may not be dead on, or they may be, I do not know. But so far, when the Big-12 has made comment on the totals, they have agreed with 365's data. Early on, we had heard it was 200 million each and most of us rolled our eyes, but as the details trickled out, it does indeed look like that might be very close to the number.

That is a hefty bill to pay, but I like many others do not think either Texas or Oklahoma thought they would actually have to pay it. I think they assumed the Big-12 would fold and no one would pay anything. This has turned into a mess for both Texas and Oklahoma and it is going to take a few years in the SEC to over come that check they have to write.

Regardless, members like Kansas, WVU or whoever else pops up on the radar is not leaving the Big-12. WVU has a coach worse than just about anyone's and he has a measly 12 million dollar buyout and WVU acts like they can't afford it. If 12 million gives them pause, 200 million is beyond the pale.
