I'm all for it. Big XII is a nonsensical name at this point anyways, and we gotta think out of the box to stay competitive with the P2

This is chasing smoke. Any revenue streams available to the Big 12 would be available in greater value to the SEC or Big Ten. There is no closing the gap.

The SEC and Big Ten are simply more valuable. Anything the Big 12 can do creatively to make more money will just be replicated by those leagues if they work. And they'll get more money out of the same endeavors.

You're not Wrong

Why doesn't this VC invest in sec or big 10? They don't want someone else giving them money with "expectations "? Espn and CBS been their daddy for forever as that's where the money comes from
