Almost killed the Big-12 as well

Texas was getting more money from its Longhorn Network, which pissed off the other schools, ultimately leading to four of them leaving. And once they weren’t getting the LHN money anymore, Texas cast the conference aside like yesterday’s laundry.

Unfortunately, your way of thinking no longer applies to how realignment

Notre Dame would just join the Big East for other sports

Or you have to be in a Power Conf. to qualify for the Championship game.**

The intra-conference equality dilemma: should everyone be treated equally?
Maroon Baboon • 08/24/23 10:37 PM ET
I think revenue should be paid by a team's commitment to each sport
EDGEMAN • 08/25/23 08:36 AM ET
This is what I think should be done. The smaller schools will vote it down.**

I think if you step back, the issue is the equal distribution
Big12 guy • 08/25/23 08:00 AM ET
It's not just winning. VT is down now but they can fill stadiums at times.
132863Hokie • 08/25/23 09:30 AM ET
That changes dramatically if Wake wins and is in the playoffs.
Big12 guy • 08/25/23 09:47 AM ET

132863Hokie • 08/25/23 12:03 PM ET
People do follow winners but there are also varying degrees, like said.

It’s what ultimately killed the BE football conference **
