[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129483134, member: 1428007"] Bowlsby isn't holding a vote until the schools are agreed upon and offers out. That hasn't occurred, some-but again not all-don't want expansion while some are not decided. The leaders of the schools and conference are not stupid. Ending tier 3 deals is not anymore of an issue for them than it has been for anyone else. That's one reason time is essential here. Some tier 3 contracts will be running out in the next few years--all by 2025 other than the LHN. You don't want schools renewing tier 3 deals if a conference network is on the way. Boren stated in his comments (get the impression you never read his interview?) that Texas would be compensated to guarantee the same money they are promised now. Other schools like WVU, OU and Kansas also have a higher tier 3 payout. All that will be worked out as everyone else has that has a network. You don't wait until contracts are up to take care of all these issues. It will take a couple of seasons more than likely to extricate any schools, it will take time to get new contracts, create a network and get it up and running and so forth and so on. It would be foolish to wait until you are under the gun of a contract to take action on securing your future. If they try to wait until then it will already be too late. [/QUOTE]
