My understanding is the meeting today is TX judgement day. The Big 12 is moving to the Big 10 model on revenue sharing and everyone but Texas is on-board. So, do they want to consider changing their position to follow everyone else or are they going to move on. Now, I am sure that is not what the press conference will say but a stake will have been driven into the ground. We can no longer live in a house of cards. And all the work up to this point has put the conference in a good negotiating position against TX. I imagine this to be a day that Bob Powers Jr. will never forget. (Neither will Bowen and GG, by the way).

Don't know who your source is, but they've been on top of it so far!

Dodds said they were sharing all revenue going forward minus the LHN revenues.
 
Should be interesting. If the other members want the LHN money split now is the time to do it. If Texas doesn't like it they can leave...now that would take a tremendous amount of balls and I am not sure that is even the best thing to do, but should be some good drama.

This ain't over until the is dry on some binding promises from every member and at lest one new school is added. Until then we aren't safe from a sudden and severe change in things.

Luckily for us though the Pac is not expanding, and that is going to make it tough for our conference to collapse untill the Pac-12 decides to expand.
 
I just got back from a full day of classes and labs. Can someone give the quick update? Sounds from the last few pages that the Big XII is giving UT some sort of ultimatum tonight? And if they don't like it they can take a hike?

Kirby Hocutt: The Big 12 has "a 3rd chance to get this right. You don't get 3 chances very often"

Kirby Hocutt is Texas Tech's AD I believe
