Here’s how much money Bob Bowlsby expects Big 12 teams to lose without OU and Texas​



Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said on Monday that each remaining school in the league can expect to earn about $14 million less per year without the Sooners and Longhorns.


Bowlsby made that comment while speaking at a political hearing on the future of college sports in Texas........



But Bowlsby provided a more optimistic number and suggested that the league’s remaining members are best served by uniting and trying to rebuild the conference through expansion.


“We believe the eight of us staying together is the best approach in the near term,” Bowlsby said.


Bowlsby said there is currently no timetable for expansion efforts, and he has not yet reached out to any schools about the possibility of joining the conference.

Bowlsby is under the same agreement as UT/OU to remain as B12 Commissioner until the grant of rights expires

Big 12 warns of losing 50% of TV value following UT/OU exit​



Bowlsby has been highly critical of both Texas and Oklahoma, accusing them of plotting for months to leave the 10-member league for the powerful SEC. He also accused ESPN of working behind the scenes to gut the Big 12, even sending a cease-and-desist letter that the cable giant refuted, but backed off that stance Monday: “We have agreed to not escalate this publicly. It’s in neither party’s best interest to do so.”......

Bowlsby said he supported the idea of the remaining Big 12 teams sticking together and said they are exploring their options. He said he wouldn't blame any school for looking out for themselves first, but “there is a right way to do it.”
