Exactly what I thought. ND wants to piggy back for the bowl tie-ins. No way Jose. You want Big 12 bowls, play Big 12 football. You know they will jump everyone with the possible exception of UT and OU for bowl selection. Minimum 6 games, and no better than 4th bowl is the best I'd allow them. Preferably no bowl tie ins.

I agree. If they play six games, give them some bowl tie-ins, but rumor was they wanted access to the Champions Bowl, and that should be a "HELLZ NAH!" If they even asked for that, then that should tell you enough of what we are trying to get into bed with.

Absolutely no Champions, Cotton, Fiesta and even Alamo without Big 12 full membership. I'd also put a date in which to review the deal, say 2 or 3 years. They also have to split the revenue as all other teams do. They keep every penny of their BE bowl tie-ins.

I'd have the same message for ND. All or nothing. Equal partner or no deal.

I would live for them to come with all sports as equals, and everyone signing the 13 yr GOR's. What trouble could they have, we could all tell them to eff off. Ad then kick the crap out of them on the field.
