[QUOTE="topdecktiger, post: 129503307, member: 1459051"] You can’t count the $2 million and the $4-6 million. If the Big 12 forms a network, that $2 million goes away, and becomes part of the $4-6 million payout form the Big 12 network. If you try to count the $2 million AND the $4-6 million, you are counting the Tier 3 money twice. Your $8 million projection is also inaccurate, because the way you calculated it previously is not how you calculated it now. Previously, you said: $231 million split 12 ways (assuming a partner like Fox), ends up around $8 million per school, which is the number you claim. Well, that number isn’t accounting for Tier 3 rights, like you are saying now. That $8 million is strictly from subscriber fees. If you are going to claim that the $8 million comes from both Tier 3 and the Big 12 network, then your calculations were wrong, because your calculations are getting $8 million only for the Big 12 network, meaning adding Tier 3 would be over $10 million in total. The bottom line to this is, Boren made a clear statement. He said the schools were leaving $4-6 million on the table.
