You are right that $20 million is an average, but it's not a minimum. The contract pays out less than $20 million to begin with, and then pays out more that $20 million at the end. Otherwise, the average would be higher than $20 million.The conference can't renegotiate from expansion. That's the whole point of the pro rata increase. The only way the contract could be renegotiated is if ESPN and Fox agreed to it. That's not going to happen. That's why ESPN and Fox included the pro rate increase, because the didn't want to negotiate.Bowlsby hasn't said that. He said that the payouts were going to say the same. David Boren also said the same thing. Again, that's the whole point of the pro rata increase. Notre Dame wouldn't be more than the pro rata increase. The reason Notre Dame would have brought more money is that they were being considered for partial membership. As such, Notre Dame wouldn't take a full share, so therefore there would be extra money to be divided by the other teams.It is 100% correct that P5 schools aren't coming to the Big 12 because they won't get more money. The Big 12's TV contract isn't going to increase, yet again due to the pro rata issue. The other conferences all have money in addition to TV contracts as well. All conferences generate money the same way: TV contracts, bowl games, NCAA tournament, etc. The TV contract isn't going to increase, and the other revenues will actually decrease, because they don't go up, and would have to be split 2 extra ways. As for the Tier 3, you keep misstating this. The Tier 3 money quoted for the schools is all inclusive. For example, West Virginia's Tier 3 deal is around $9 million a year. That includes TV. That's not TV by itself. That's TV mixed with radio and multimedia. The problem is, everybody else already gets radio and multimedia, so no change. The Tier 3 TV simply isn't worth the money you think it is. It's only one football game, against a crappy midmajor/FCS opponent. It simply doesn't generate much money.</blockquote>
