      Why would BYU want to leave its ESPN deal behind to join the Big 12?

        Who says they have to leave it behind? ESPN is giving UT $300M as part of the longhorn network deal. It is not like they would be joining the PAC-12 or something.

            I guess I didn't realize how equivalent BYU and Texas are in negotiating clout.

                Like I said, we have enough Mormon engineers. After a while they start to think they are smarter than everyone else.

                      It is in the Big 12 by-laws that you accept being Texas bitch if you are in the conference.

                        Remind me again what Utah's payout from the PAC 12 is this year? How about next year?

                          You don't have to dig too far into the landscape to find that USC and UCLA are just as politically dominant in the Pac-10/12 as UT and A&M are in the Big 12.

                          They just aren't as blindly ambitious (or stupid) as the Horns and Aggies in the way they go about it.

                              You'll have to ask USC/UCLA about your allowance.

                                I think that's historically true, but His Magnificence, Larry Scott, got them to agree to an equal-sharing TV deal. Texas would never abase itself that way.
