What happens when NU plays Tejas? How does the revenue split then? Just curious.
I think the Big XII would benefit by raising the level of competition all around. Look at how SEC teams get elevated, even with 2-3 loss seasons, just due to the perceived level of competition. If somebody like KSU or ISU starts rolling through their non-conference schedule, and then knocks off a South division team, then NU's strength of schedule improves.

there is no perception about the 2nd, 3rd and 4th tier teams in the SEC. most of them can whip up on the Big 12 , except for Texas, OU and maybe NU and not so sure even those guys holding up. i don't know how they revenue share down there, but the talent is just oozing out in the southeast part of the country and those teams have a distinct advantage with that.

Now that I think about it, I'd like to know how the SEC shares its revenues. The Big Ten isn't exactly the best standard for our conference to measure up to. They're pretty top-heavy, too.

Most conferences are top heavy. Just the nature of the beast. Every conference has 1-4 teams that are head and shoulders above the rest of the teams. These teams are good year in and year out. They are the national title contenders. And by and large, these top tier teams are tough ad will give any other conference's top teams battles.
Where you really make the stock of the conference is with the rest of the teams.
After the top teams, what happens with the rest of them? Do they cycle in and out of the top 25, hit bowl games and pose upset potential to the big boys now and then?
This is where the Big 12 is falling short. And the teams that are the worst, are also the ones getting the least money. When were the last times ISU, KU, KSU, CU, BU ranked? BU, KU and ISU do not have much to talk about in the last 10 years. KSU and CU most recently. And once were powers, but have fallen thought neglect. How much of it is due to TV contracts that favor the south? Tough to tell. But less TV time usually leads to problems recruiting, then to problems winning.

The SEC shares most revenues pretty evenly - certainly the monies from the TV contracts and the bowl proceeds. I think that licensing for merchandise is not evenly shared; I don't know if it's a case of each school getting to keep the merchandising revenue or whether only a percentage and the remainder is shared evenly.
The truth of the matter is that, absent revenue sharing, you will have a wider disparity between the upper echelon teams and the lower echelon teams. When you have that, you have a built-in perception that the conference is weaker than another conference, which affects the ability to develop new TV contracts and revenues, attract recruits, etc.
While NU is in the upper range, it can't compete with Texas. No one can. If that's allowed to continue, Texas will come to dominate the conference and it will be perceived as the "Big 1, Little 11".
You have some great points........but is there any way to spread the money evenly between 11 teams to ensure complete developement and just send KSUcks a bag of dog $hit? :dunno

Do you have, or know a link, where I could read exactly how this was all said in context? I have ALOT of respect for Mangino and would LOVE to read exactly how this all came up. Thanks.
