Yup, they stand to now make $20 -25 million a year, at least as much as they
would have made under the Pac-10 plan and substantially, at least $5
million, more than the rest of the Big 12(10) other than A&M which should
fall somewhere in between.  It's nice to have your own network - it's even
nicer to have your own conference.
