But to change the Big 12 constitution you have to have to have nine votes, which means the state of Texas essentially has completely control and veto power over the Big 12. The Big 12 isn't going to win a bidding war for any school -- the only schools that will join the Big 12 will be because they don't have another option. The Big 12 will get the leftovers.

Have you ever looked at the revenue numbers? Per the numbers in ESPN's article, Texas made about $1 million more than Kansas (10.2 vs 9.2) and about $2 million more than Missouri. I don't know where you're getting your numbers, but the differential has never been more than a few million between the bottom and top teams.
