While I'm happy for the prestige (and money) that Texas will add to the conference, I sure hope the part about Texas getting to keep Longhorn Network revenue above and beyond the third tier 1/16th share isn't true. It's not likely to be a significant amount of money, but I really don't like the precedent of giving Texas even a little bit more money. Travel and scheduling concessions? Yeah, I can see that. But equal revenue sharing should be just that - 100% equal.

A part of me still hopes the Texas thing doesn't happen and we bring in Kansas & K State to go with the Oklahoma schools...
