I actually think it's the Mizzou President and not the AD. He made some statements about keeping the Big 12 athletically and academically strong.

If he's sincere about academics I'm not sure how Memphis or Houston fit into that equation. I'd think it gives us a better shot with a president in charge who has to answer to faculty as opposed to and AD who just has to deal with "fans".

You are correct. It is the Chancellor not AD. I misread the tweet from Chuck Carlton

Correct me if I'm wrong the TV negotiated by the B12 was after Nebraska and Colorado left. If A&M, who was a major factor and negotiator in the TV deal, leaves then they should stand to hold some liability.

I'm no legal-type but isn't that like saying if Dale Hansen (worthless blowhard, but still drives ratings) retired he could be liable when advertisers canceled their commercials during the news?

Maybe, but then again Dale Hanson wasn't at the table negotiating the commercial deals. I'm not a lawyer by any means, but I would think if I negotiated and signed a 15 year contract then no later than a year later I break that contract, I would owe a lot of money back. I guess it just depends on how the contract is worded. Could it by like Mike Vick that had to pay back part of his contract after his legal issues?

Otherwise, why if I'm a TV network would I give a 15 year deal? Year to year based only on the teams in the conference. Otherwise, they take all the risk and the schools can jump ship to better deals with little to stop them but conference fees.

Just me thinking out loud.
