Do you think they are going to show football on the BEVO network? The BEVO network is for their non-revenue sports, coaches shows, and non-conference men's basketball games against Texas State and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Every Texas football game is picked up nationally, they are not going to show football games on the BEVO unless it is a replay of a game.
Basically, everything we were celebrating late yesterday and early today was based on false premises.
1. Nebraska's and Colorado's buyouts are going to Texas, A&M, and OU ONLY
2. There isn't a TV deal in place - everything is based on estimates on what MAY happen after 2012
3. We might not be seeing any additional revenues for at least 5 years
Want a summary?
Harry Block: Keep your chin up. You know she wanted to give you some, don't you?
Ira Kane: Were you even in that courtroom?
Harry Block: Getting barbecued like baby back ribs? It's all foreplay, baby.
[they return to their lab, to find the door broken in, and all their work stolen]
Ira Kane: Oh, we've been hit!
Harry Block: Forget the foreplay. We just got screwed!

We should have taken that and ran as far away as possible.

Nothing really changed at all except members can start their own networks.
Would be nice for JP to be on the phone w/KU, KSU, and Mizzou about doing something regionally.
We won't make any more $ at all until Nebrasks and CU leave, and we'll have our games on TV.

I don't get why that couldn't happen. Those 8 schools, plus 2 or 4 more would make a reputable conference that would be sure to have a BCS bid. I don't get why you can't tell Texas and AtM to go to the Pac 10 if they want and start a new conference with everyone who has gotten systematically screwed over.
Re: Texas, A&M, OU will get all the buyout money
From what I heard at the press conference, Beebe said that the 5 orphan shcools offered to let UT, A&M and OU have all the penalty money. Then he said that this wasn't really the issue for UT, A&M, and OU, and I don't think he every said concretely that the penalty money would all go to these three schools.

I would bet that KU, K State, Missou, ISU are still lucrative to the Big East to expand.
More credibility to a football conference that is lacking some and more power to the most powerful basketball conference.
If they can find a deal that can pay us what we make now, bolt.
Summary:
No increase in TV revenue for at least 4 years,
$17 million average is just an estimate, not commitments
No one is prevented from leaving league beyond there public statements of staying
All the exit fee money goes to OU, UT, & ATM,
It isn't clear if the larger share from having 2 less schools is also allocated to the three above
No wonder the five were having a contingency plan meeting last night in KC and I am quite certain they weren't having celebratory drinks. That said JP & GG will have to put positive spin on this

This Big East 'source' for everyone was one lone blogger from the Washington Examiner.
Other Big East sources disputed it.
most likely nothing there.
I knew we were bending over, but I didn't know we were bending over that far. No exit cash from NU and CU?! Good God, I hope the the Benedict Arnold's don't have to pay a single penny now.
