I agree that it sucks Utah will likely get invited to our conference... BUT

BIG12 money is still a significant jump from what we were making as an indy and definitely worth more than what any G5 school is getting. We won't be P2, but still shaping up to be a great "2nd Tier" conference. Once the LA teams went to the BIG10, it became a race for "who's the 3rd best conference" and the BIG12 is still poised to be in that position.

Texas has had a financial disparity over every single team in the BIG12... how has that worked for them?
