Depends upon whether the Big 12 sues them in some West Texas county with 350 people in it and one judge who is a Tech alum.
i know the lawsuit seems pathetic and funny but it's also bullshit that ESPN has an agreement with the conference and then also is trying to sabotage the conference with discussions with individual members.
there’s no way they’d send that if they thought the conference was gonna survive. trying to get as much $$$ as they can before they close up shop.
Bob Bowlsby got that Donald Trump signature. No wonder the B12 finds themselves in the shitty spot they are.
I think there is a decent conference to be made out of the Big 12 and AAC. Some of the AAC schools have massive enrollment and would fit in well from a student body perspective. Houston, UCF, USF, and Cincinnati all have 35,000+ undergrads.
If the ACC was smart they would add UCF. I know UCF twitter is fucking annoying. But it's a smart long term move.
Good preview of how the SEC teams will spend the excess revenue they’re receiving that is ruining the sport.

sources are saying the remaining big xii schools will be receiving upwards of $50m/yr from litigation proceeds
I’m riding with Bob Bowlsby. this old boss has no fucks left to give and he’s pouring gas on the place and lighting it on fire on his way out
I mean ESPN does that shit. Skipper basically outlined it on Lebatard. I have no idea if they have any sort of a case but I’m here for the content.
