Until the programs in the East actually had to play that schedule. It's basically taking the best of the Big East, ACC, Mountain West and tossing them in with the likes of Texas in some champions league level division.

Any hypothetical conference cannot split up Texas and Oklahoma. Simply will not happen. They want to play each other every year and only once every year (no rematch in a conf championship game).
They MUST be in the same pod/division.

Amazing how far we have come in a year.
At the doorstep of the Big East to now a member of one of the elite.

I wonder if the Big XVI happened if we might do what the B1G did to make it "balanced" and not pay too close attention to geography?
I like being between ND and baylor on their schedule. We have always had plenty of night games, just sounds like bob is complaining like his old coach Fry did all the time.
That's a lot of *****ing about stuff that noone could really control.
The night game excuse is BS. It's not like playing at night hurt them more than their oponent. Most teams love night games because of the exposure. If they want, ISU will take some of their prime time slots and they can play at 11 on FSN.
Noone could create a team for them to play in the non-con. Also, they are complaining about playing 9 straight games, whereas ISU has played EVERY game without a bye recently.
I got the same feeling. Just a lot of ******** about how being one of the best programs in the nation has minor inconveniences that seem a little "unfair." I think it's unfair they even have to have to play road games. OU is already so great and so important they should just get all home games. It really chafes me to see one of the teams that almost left the Big 12 SPECIFICALLY to get more TV money complaining about the repercussions of giving TV networks all the power.
It really put me over the edge when they whined about the placement of a bye, a situation ISU has faced several times in the last few years.
tl;dr This is like the hottest girl in school complaining about having too many dates to prom.
We did have 2 byes last year. Although those are the only ones I remember in a long time.
On the Thursday night games, isn't that as much of an AD thing as a Conference thing? Isn't our AD the ones who set up the Thursday night games we've had in the past or a Friday night like against OSU? If they were actually trying and no one would let them, then I see the beef, seems more like they were hoping the league would do it for them.
Even the 9 game in a row scenario though, wasn't that as much of an ISU doing in the Past as a Big XII thing. I always thought the AD pushed to not have a game the weekend afte Thanksgiving. This seems more like something someone heard a fan of FSU say and took it for fact.
Exactly what I was thinking. Preserves the Red River Rivalry as Texas/OU want and Waco is east of Austin.
This article basically says that $30mil/team/year is about to be the new standard for big boy conferences...
Eye On College Football - CBSSports.com Mike Slive: SEC expansion has "strengthened us" in TV negotiations
Big 10 will always be kings when it comes to cash and they will cash in during their 2016 negotiations...probably will end up with at least $35 million/team/yr depending on how much they expand
SEC will likely come out near $30mil/team/yr when renegotiations are over
PAC12 expects to be at $30 mil/team/yr when their network is running
That means if the B12 signs this new deal they'll sit at $20 mil/team/yr +3rd tier rights for individual schools. If you end up around $23-24 mil/team/yr you're in the same ballpark, but still lagging behind. If there is any truth to the poaching of the ACC rumors, the B12 would certainly be right near the $30mil/team/yr gold standard.
Rumor is the ACC won't get more than $1-2 mil/team/yr increase with Pitt and 'Cuse so they'll be sitting at $16 mil/team/yr until 2025...Ripe for picking.
Big East??? If I had to guess, I bet they end up with about $12mil/team/yr for schools with both FB and BB.

ESPN, Fox may share Big 12 rights - SportsBusiness Daily | SportsBusiness Journal
We could see some games on regular Fox channels:
As expected this is to lock NBC out:

Either Berry is clueless, or that's a big insult to the likes of Florida State, Clemson, etc.
