For years, the University of Texas has had to kick money to the poorer schools in the Big 12 such as Kansas, Baylor, Iowa State and Texas A&M and I am sure they will now have to kick cash to Pac 16 schools.
This whole thing seems a bit like Socialism.
Texas is the most successful school and has to kick money to other Big 12 schools.
To earn a little bit more money for themselves the University creates the Longhorn Network in order to have some cash that will not have to share with those poorer schools and they Aggies, seeing that they are going to be cut off from the largess of Texas quits the Big 12.
I have difficulty worrying about the fairness of UT’s having to kick money to less affluent schools when UT receives the $8.8 billion Texas PUF and other Texas universities do not (except A&M).

The Hypocrisy is breath taking. In the UT classroom they push Marxism and Communism as the answer to all of life's problems. When it comes to their money though - every man for themselves: Greed is Good.
Kansas needing assistance? LOL, better check that. They are usually in the black regardless of their football costs their basketball program provides alot of green to the school.
A&M a "poorer school?"
Please provide a link detailing t.u. "kick(ing) money" to A&M please.
