If what the conference members got was 'scraps', we want more of that. The non-UT teams got HUGE increases over the last deal. This deal doesn't even include the money that all schools will split from NU and CU buyouts and the apparent Big 12 network that will be created by the other nine schools (it appears that OU may opt not to create their own network).
