Listening to Chris William's podcast on their free board, he says he has a strong belief that the Big XII schools had to give "a little bit" of money to secure ASU and UU. That little bit was in the neighborhood of 3 million per team.
That would make our TV rights payout 28.7 million per team instead of 31.7 million. He also said the XII powers to be felt it was the price to ensure the PAC was killed, and that was needed.
Had anyone else heard this? He also said there were other ways to increase revenue. I imagine one of those would be bowl enhancements, as they work on some of the PAC bowl tie-ins.
