Texas open to sharing revenue, but not Longhorn Network money - NCAA Football - SI.com

Interesting comments from Osborne.

But leave the LHN money alone! LMAO, this is why Texas will never be in the Big Ten and the B12 will always be in an unstable condition.

Terms spelled out by Dodds:

1. What's not on the table is the money from Texas' 20-year, $300 million deal with ESPN to create the Longhorn Network, which has been blamed in large part for Texas A&M's pending departure from the Big 12.
"That's never been in play, that's not in play," Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds said.


2.It's about quality, not quantity," Dodds said. "In my mind, 10 is the perfect conference. You have a clear path to the national championship game without stumbling in a (conference) championship game."

If those are hard and fast positions then I don't see Oklahoma or Missouri agreeing. I don't think they will be willing to sign on to any long term commitment and an increase in penalties to leave the conference. I hope ISU refuses to accept Texas terms just because of the dollar signs. They and the other members can establish a nice conference without Texas. They can make it attractive. Maybe without a Texas the conference can be stabilized.

I know this would never happen but it would be funny if they threatened to vote Texas out of the conference.

Isu will cave in to anything that Texas demands. They know they have nowhere to go without Texas.

Seems to me the Texas and Oklahoma schools pretty much control the Big 12 conference.

The other four schools combined do not appear to have as much power as the Texas and Oklahoma schools.

If Texas and Oklahoma wants the Big 12 to survive then it will. If not then it won't.

you think the Big 10 is really that different? it's all about what tOSU, MU, PSU, and now nebraska want.

I totally disagree. Please site an example where the Big Ten schools are not treated equally in distribution of money and state your source.

That couldnt be further from the truth.ISU will be one of the first to
vote against what Texas demands.They have said that they realize they are stuck in the Big 12 -with or without Texas.

If a vote to evict Texas happened i think it would be the greatest thing to happen to the Big 12 and if it passed adding West Virginia, BYU, TCU, and Boise State wouldn't equal Texas revenue but for once the Conference could see stability and even more stellar football.

Which six schools outside of Texas and Oklahoma were you talking about? Good job on your credibility.

Thanks for calling me out. I deserved it; can't count.

I meant to say four schools and they are Missouri, Kansas, Kansas State and Iowa State.

I will edit the previous post. Thanks.
