in an effort to keep Missouri.  Missouri has an offer from the SEC, apparently, for the 14th spot ahead of WVU.  Missouri has to balance geography and economics.  Still, Texas' Longhorn Network (already carried on FIOS, by the way ...), is called "tier 3" income.

If Texas gets a full share of the conference's TV football revenue, but gets broadcast rights for 1/2 of their conference games, how is this fair?  Answer:  it's not.  The Big 12 should either get blackout rights vs. Longhorn Network for conference games, or Texas should only get a 1/2 share of league football revenues, since they keep their own money generated from the broadcast of home games.

Still, it's probably tough for Missouri to make the move to the SEC.  They decide on Tuesday.  On Wednesday expect WVU to get the consolation call and grab it for SEC spot #14.

Once WVU goes, that's the end of the Big East for football, and the other schools that get Big 12 invites go - maybe only Louisville to go with BYU and TCU to bring them to 12.  Cinci might be left out, leaving the Big East with 4 remaining football schools - them, Rutgers, UConn and USF.
