My favorite part of this ordeal. OU is screaming to high heaven and has been doing so for years. They do this knowing there will never be any movement. The contracts aren't changing. Are they doing it for show so their fan base thinks that they have stroke in the media world? Is there enough JIm Ross the wresting announcer in the OU brass to do the same effing routine every effing season?

I have been the one voice who has been consistent since 2010, OU has no stroke in conference realignment. None. These schedules do nothing but prove me more and more correct. OU is the worst possible conference member.

They win your conference every year, and cost every conference member money by diluting share.
Actually, conference realignment in 2011 proved conclusively that Oklahoma has no stroke.

OU tried to go to the Pac-12 by themselves after A&M decided to leave for the SEC, and the Pac-12 rejected them, told them to only call if they could bring texas. It was a humbling moment for OU, a moment when they realized how little they truly matter.

OU came back and said they were committed to the Big 12, and demanded Dan Beebe be fired. It was their way to throwing what little weight they have around, and trying to show their fans a power move.

Big 12 seems to have the best deal since they keep their tier 3 rights.

which can't be monetized on their own like they can collectively. Oh and those tier three rights include radio. Our tier 3 rights, which we signed over to ESPN, do not. Creating the SEC network created tier 4 rights, including radio, which we have monetized in similar fashion to your tier 3 rights.

Everything sucks for you. Facts are your enemy.

You still end up with less money than Texas ($53mm) or even OU ($42mm) and Kansas ($41mm)

Please, detail out those numbers, you know, go ahead and include the detail of the dollars that sip AD sends to academic side that never flows back. Because that makes sense to include money the sip AD doesn't have access to.

Further, considering A&M was less than $9 MM in 2009, and OU and Sip were >$20 MM in 2009, I like the current trend.

Finally, if OU is truly making that, why are they having such a hard time expanding Owen Field? Why is A&M refreshing anything and everything these days (stadium, offices, weight room, nutrition, practice fields) and OU can't rub together two nickels?

At this point, how can any BDF fan be dumb enough to even try to make this argument?

You're going to have to source that $53MM, because that's a roughly $18MM gap from what the conference reports for tier 1/2 rights. And if you say that you're getting $15MM from bevo tv we will know that you aren't serious.

This is an absolute lie. The Big 12 would have you believe that the conference's total operating costs are $5M. That's impossible. The SEC takes a full share for itself to operate, or $41M. I guarantee you that the Big 12 schools are all paying a "management fee" back to the league after the distribution, solely to make the numbers look better than they really are. An apples to apples comparison of the two comes to $33M for each member.
