Why is it the Aggies did not cut their own deal with ESPN to establish the Aggie Network?

And now UT gets it’s 300 million dollars and the Big 12 will take all that money from the Aggies that is owed.

They wanted to go (since last year) to the SEC...not get their own network. The SEC might have their own conf network.

UT gets $300 million over 10 years; nothing chages, they owe A&M nothing. A&M pays the Big 12-3 a to be determined amt...taken from revenue...that's how Nebraska and Colo. paid to get out...several million each.

Don't know how this works but ... all other confs have revenue sharing. If UT should go to another conf they would have to share their ESPN money. The thing is...nobody seems to want UT. PAC 10 said they weren't enlarging and ACC announced two new teams. Those are the only confs I've heard UT was interested in...and that probably if OU and OSU left.
