Live television is where the advertising revenue is.

Plus, people seem to forget that the PAC Network has reserved itself the rights to some first tier matchups. That's huge.

Fair enough. I haven't seen that number anywhere. We won't have to wait long to find out.

Gabe DeArmond said on radio that Mizzou officials are prepared to be the next team 'on the clock' next Tuesday (9/20/11). Said that OU/OSU departure on Monday is going to happen.
