That current $31.5 million Big 12 quote is far below that - their payout per team was more when they had only 10 members. (Your detractor should know how that works - you take LESS $$ than the ACC gets but divide that smaller payout by 10 not 14 so the per team payout is bigger.) UT and OU kept it that way but they will be gone soon. UT and their Longhorn network (thanks, ESPN/s) were always part of the problem when the Big 8 took in those 4 SWC teams but that is another story. (I would not be surprised to learn that ESPN greenlighted their transition to the $EC to cancel that network and cut their losses.) Also, as I recall, ESPN made a $30 million per team offer to the Pac12 after (or before?) U$C and UCLA said they were leaving which is in the ballpark for the Big 12 number. [/QUOTE]
