"BuT TeH biG 12 tiEr ThRee eN SeCh"
LMFAO at tejas peeps tossing that shit into everybody's faces for the last ten years and now abandoning the very sewer they created out of the former Big 8. They milked everything they could out of it and should be forced to drown in their pool of sludge.
The fact is the Big 12 media payouts were garbage compared to the SEC and Big 10.
To add to that not one P5 team would have even considered leaving their digs to join that shithole conference. They were limited to mid-majors and that's why they're abandoning ship.
I've been saying all along that they should have gotten the old SWC back together by adding RICE, SMU, Houston, and even UTEP.
