It has been discussed and is probably easily verified that the Big 12 would get an equal share increase for each new team.  Ex:  If each team is getting $20MM, a new team would get the same $20MM, technically this amounts to an increase in the Big 12 TV contract, but not in the average per team payout.  This was the confusion misunderstood by the Dude and other WVU folks who preached that the payout of each school would go up $2MM/team for each new school brought in ($20MM/10=$2MM per team increase).  Your point about each team taking a cut to invite new teams is simply incorrect.  There would be no penalty of a loss for inviting new teams; however, there is NO incentive to do so, either.

As for the Champions issue in the playoff, there is no issue.  The Big 12 names a champion and that would qualify them for the playoff consideration.  I do agree that they attached their support to the ACC request because they do not want to interfere with their situation.
