If a school is getting that much cash for a TV network, why stay in a conference (Ex. Notre Dame)? Thats $12mil that Tex does not have to share with anyone. Wow!

Texas comes out real winners in this.

To compare, 98% higher than what Newton's family got.

Kidding...

Capitalism at its finest. Nice work by Texas of milking it for all its worth.

That'll be great for their athletic department...and will also give every other team in the BigXII-II more reason to hate them.

The real reason Nebraska wanted out.
