[QUOTE="TownesVanZandt_rivals, post: 130995060, member: 1606648"] Texas and Oklahoma have around 80% of the population. Texas 28.7 million Oklahoma 4 million Iowa 3.156 million Kansas 2.912 if you include the KC market probably closer to 3.5 million West Virginia 1.8 million About 33 million compared to 8.2 million There is nothing there for a Big 12 conference network. Truthfully I don't think anyone would want a Big 12 network because it would be Texas 24/7. Why would that network not be totally controlled by the biggest market. With the current setup everyone is happy plus revenue hasn't been an issue with the Big 12. Still going to be higher than the ACC with their network because they have too many schools. You want to add more schools to the Big 12 to divide the revenue. Very few schools will bring 40 million to the table. [/QUOTE]
