[QUOTE="OlegeezEER, post: 131756774, member: 1835316"] According to Bowlesby the loss of of Texas and Oklahoma could result in a 50% reduction in tv revenue. Whether or not that is true we probably will be seeing a much smaller paycheck in the future. The remaining big 12 teams are not really in a position to make more money. Its more about trying to minimize losses at this point. There is nothing we are going to be able to do that can replace what Texas and Oklahoma brought. When it comes to wvu I hope we can find another home in one of the existing power 5 conferences. I would take the acc any day over a newly constructed big 12. The new big 12 revenues will fall below the other conferences once the new deals are finalized. Its about the future at this point. There are some that say the acc is the next conference up on the chopping block. That might be so but I would rather be on the titanic when its still in the docks then be on it when its in the middle of the ocean. Wvu went through this when the jumped from the big east to the big 12. I am sure wvu administrators new the big 12 was only a temporary fix. [/QUOTE]
