Whorn fans are saying Larry Scott has agreed to a minimum pay out to Texas that would at least equal what they would get from the LHN, plus the partenship with Comcast solves their distribution problems, and that the new PAC 16 network would be highly localized, meaning Texas area would be Bevo-centirc in all programming.
All speculation, but seems like a real possibility given the fact that the new TV contract under a PAC 16 would be enormous. Virtually all major football west of the Mississipi River would be in the PAC 16 footprint under the OU, OSU, Texas, TTech scenario.

Also, Jens can you post a link to Kirk Bohls' comment? Went to the Statesman and there's nothing there.
This better not be a chilling development for Buff fans in Texas. I'm counting on having access to the Rocky Mountain regional Pac network on the sports down here.
After all the bluster about equal revenue sharing, I can't imagine the commish doing this - if there was anything that screamed special treatment, it's this horse**** plan.

We guaranteed USC and UCLA minimums. There's precedent. It's on Larry Scott to make sure that we blow out that minimum so that people forget about it just like they did the USC and UCLA commitments.
Yup, that's the exact argument being made. Also, if you had the above four teams plus A&M getting out, you would be close to having the votes to dissolve the conference. Bye bye Baylor lawsuit.

Kirk Bohls was regarded as a 'respected journalist' before all of this, right?
Strange that he would throw that all away just to sit next to the Chipster on DeLoss's lap.
