    umm long term viability of the Big-12?

    Re: Beebe's latest statements

    Why would Texas and the rest of the conference not hold off and force Colorado and Nebraska to pay the buy out money? It's not like the Pac 10 offer won't be on the table a year from now....Is $1.8 million per team not enough to think that way, just for the principle of making them pay it. Whether it comes from Colorado and Nebraska, or the Pac 10 and Big 10, who cares, take the money and worry about the rest a year from now.

    Because Texas would rather jump ship a year earlier and start making 20+ million sooner rather than later.

    Texas makes that now. And besides, the conference won't dissolve overnight. Probably in play for at least the 2010 and 2011 seasons.

    Isn't that fine actually the loss of revenue over the next few years? If so, by the time this money comes Texas would have to be gone as well. It's not like Colorado has to write a check today.
