EDIT - Never mind, you can ignore this. I read the new posts in the other thread. It sounds like we could never win a legal battle against the networks to add schools if they don't want them so the below plan is irrelevant. I really like the notion of kicking out Baylor while adding Houston though, and compromising with the networks for some additional $ while staying at 10.


Sorry for another thread about this, but is the below a possible scenario? It seems like it would allow the Big 12 to have their cake and eat it too.

Plan:
  • Extend the GOR among the 10 current schools 6 years so it runs to 2031.
  • Add 4 schools but give them a 25% revenue share so the current 10 schools can have a $ grab for the next 9 years
  • Have a stipulation in the contract of the new schools that the deal only lasts through 2025, at which time they have to reapply for entry into the league (essentially it is a 9 year test period for them to prove their value).
