"The Big 12 is actually pretty well run and it has a pretty good set of TV deals, not as good as the SEC and the Big Ten, but pretty good and then the bigger you are the more you make off those third-tier rights. Texas has the Longhorn Network, Oklahoma has its deal with Fox. Even Kansas and Iowa State have pretty good deals, so, the Big 12 is just sitting there with 10 schools and a really good TV deal and they have a TV deal coming up. The year before the Big 12's TV deal expires, the Pac-12's TV deal expires.</blockquote>
