Good to see our longtime conference partners land on their feet. Will the money really pan out? And if it does, will it be quickly dwarfed by other conferences' deals a few years down the road? Something tells me this is only a temporary reprieve.
Interesting how the economic plan doesn't seem to allow for the rise of any other league schools to the level of Texas-OU-A&M. There are three schools in the penthouse and seven in the servants' quarters. If you can make that work, more power to you, I guess. It sure wouldn't have worked that way for Texas in the Pac 10, Big 10 or SEC.
Which brings us to the case of Notre Dame. They have it made right now, even more so than Texas. What will it take for the grass to look greener to them in a conference? Don't expect them to decide to share their wealth with the Big 10 any time soon.
