For Texas it's a smart move. For everyone else (OU, OSU, TT, aTm) it's not so smart. I know the Big 12 commissioner is saying that the teams remaining in the big 12 will see there tv revenues rise to SEC levels, but i honestly can't see how that could be. You lost Denver Tv market, lost a storied Nebraska franchise, lost the ability to hold a conference championship (which generates tons of money), and are allowing Texas to establish their own TV network.
Texas will be fine with its own network, but something tells me the others will be kicking themselves in a few years for not jumping to the pac.
