Big 12 officials discuss extra revenue shares for Texas, Oklahoma as enticement not to leave for SEC​

Big 12 officials have discussed a structure in which Texas and Oklahoma would receive additional revenue shares as a way of enticing the two schools to remain in the conference rather than pursue a future in the SEC, conference sources have told CBS Sports.

Such a structure would grant the Longhorns and Sooners an additional half-share annually (1.5 shares each), bumping their payouts to approximately $56 million per year. The other eight schools would decrease their payouts accordingly. Big 12 schools currently average $37 million in annual TV rights earnings, including revenue from bowl games and the NCAA Tournament.

The topic became a discussion point Thursday night during the conference call with Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby. Texas and Oklahoma were not part of the call. One person familiar with the conversation stressed the revenue share idea was "from the 50,000-foot level" and preliminary in nature.

It's Big East Miami, Fl. all over again. Screw the Big 12.

Its bizarre...

WVU has dealt with the realignment issue for over 20 years.

If we make a jump to the ACC, we will be the only program to be a member of 3 different power conferences in the BCS/PLAYOFF era.

It doesn't matter what the other Big 12 schools offer they can't keep pace with the sec. If Texas and Oklahoma have been offered spots in the sec then there gone. I don't want wvu bending over for anyone.

WVU should not be sacrificing revenue for a school they beat as often as they are defeated such as UT.

Hopefully WVUs leaders can maneuver like the last time.

It doesn't matter what the other Big 12 schools offer they can't keep pace with the sec. If Texas and e Oklahoma have been offered spots in the sec then there gone. I don't want wvu bending over for anyone.

Agree, but keep in mind also the current BIG 12 contracts expire in 2024-25 at which time NEW contracts with someone will be enacted--assuming there is still a conference.

If OU and Texas are in that conference then the media rights will be worth quite a bit more than without.
