Not too sure about that. The Big 12 is about to sign a deal that would more than triple their regional network dollars. Add in that there are two less members of the conference and the renegotiation of the national contract in a couple years, and it's a huge jump in revenue for the conference on a per school basis. The predictions of a quick death for the Big 12 appear pretty premature at this point, especially with UT and OU able to do their own networks under the current setup.
