[QUOTE="topdecktiger, post: 129501619, member: 1459051"] I'll point out again, all this talk has been coming form people like Boren. It's Texas that you need to hear from. It's easy for Boren to say Texas should give up the LHN. It's not affecting him. It's Texas that's affected. There are a couple of things I think you aren't considering here. One is that Texas, particularly the coaches, like the prestige from the LHN. They use it as a recruiting too. Not just football either, but all sports. The other is money. Texas gets $15 million from the LHN. Boren is suggesting Texas get a bigger share of the B12N money to make up the difference. Well, the payout per team is not going to be close to $15 million. The SECN pays out $5 million per school. (Hard to see the Big 12 bringing in more than the SEC.) You are probably looking at Texas being about $10 million short. That's a good bit of money to have to make up, which is going to come out of the pockets of the other schools. It's definitely not a sure thing that the Big 12 will be able to get Texas the same amount they are getting from the LHN. [/QUOTE]
