yes how terrible....the PAC teams make 18 million per year (had to pay to buy their third tier rights back for their new contract) scaling to 25 million in 12 years from now and have games on at midnight
Texas makes 20.8 million for the new Big 12 contract, they will make 4 million more per year starting next year and they make 15 million per year from the LHN.....and they get about 750K to 1m more for the NCAA payouts
so Texas is making 35.8 million a year this year for TV, they will be making 39.8 million next year for TV and Sugar Bowl payouts, and they will make about 1m more than the PAC for NCAA payouts
so Texas will be making about 41 million per year next year VS the members of the PAC making about 20 total and Texas does not have games being played at midnight and Texas only has to compete with 9 other conference teams to get games on TV VS having to compete with 15 other teams if they had gone to a 16 team PAC
yea Texas has it terrible
and programs like KU are getting 20.8 for TV money, they will get 4 million yearly next year for the Sugar Bowl and they will get about 1.5 million for NCAA payouts and they get 8 million for third tier rights
so next year KU will be getting 34.3 million per year while the PAC teams will be getting 20 million total.....yea KU is hating that
KSU will be getting all of that except for 3 million per year VS 8 for 3rd tier rights so KSU is getting 29.3 million per year next year VS the 20 for the PAC
so yea Big 12 teams are really hating it in the Big 12 and crying about being stuck with Texas
even teams in the Big 12 with no third tier deal yet or with a low one are going to be getting 26.3 million VS 20 million for PAC teams and PAC teams will be only getting about 26 million (25 million for TV + NCAA fees) in 12 years from now when their TV deal scales to the max payout and I don't see the PAC becoming much stronger in basketball VS the Big 12 over the next few year
even if the PAC gets to equal with the Big 12 in basketball they will only be making near equal money 12 years from now when the PAC TV deal reaches the max payout
so again the Big 12 teams are find without the PAC and their midnight games that end after news papers have published their next days stories
