It doesn't matter to me one way or the other, I'm just noting the duality or, to put it less kindly, the hypocrisy.

There is no hypocrisy. 

B12 voted to have to unequal revenue sharing leading to conference instability and the departure of numerous members.

B10 asked for new members to take a reduce share media share until they were fully integrated into the conference (3 years,) where they would get a full media share, leading to conference stability.

FOX interjected and said since we the ones paying the media contract we would like to have the newest members to come on board at full media rights. 

These are separate events, that occurred in separate decades. The B1G doesn't have unequal media rights. Everyone is getting paid the same.

Sorry your old conference sucked, better luck with your new one.

.

Given that the schools that left the conference were also teams that voted for and received the benefit of unequal revenue sharing, you're going to have to show your work here.

maybe Nebraska has an offer with the SEC?
Maybe but they damn sure won't allow your fillabustering "Welcoming UNL to the SEC thread" if that happens they'll be sorry ;D

I'd be delighted to see Nebraska in the SEC.  They could join the "Hate Pod" alongside Texas, OU, A&M, and Arkansas!

B12 voted to have to unequal revenue sharing leading to conference instability and the departure of numerous members.
there were many B12 votes that led to instability from the start - those are why Texas was blamed early and often

it was easy from there to blame the Horns for the unequal revenue bit, especially when the Unicorn network reared it pretty little head
but, revenue issues alone didn't doom the conference

and yes, some of the teams that left the conference voted for unequal revenue sharing such as UNL and much later A&M
of course Mizzou and Colorado wanted equal revenue and w/o Mizzou going to the Big and asking for an invite, perhaps UNL doesn't play that card so early.

It was all a mess from the inception - poor leadership from the commish and the powers that controlled that office
I'm not going to say that blaming Texas is the right thing to do, but I'm fine with that.

The problem is that, as always, this discussion ends up confusing and conflating multiple issues that weren't even occurring at the same time.  LHN wasn't even a proposal when Nebraska left. Texas was looking at launching its own network at a loss, just to have content on the air.  Tom Osborne has openly stated that Nebraska was ahead of Texas in developing its own network, at the time the Huskers decided to leave the B12 and join the B1G.

Auburn is higher than I would have guessed.  I agree about Oregon.  UCLA > USC ...

For many of those, the numbers are skewed based on who they are playing.

People are gonna watch Bama play College of Charleston, but they won't watch Arky play College of Charleston. 

The B1G East and SEC West get boosted here, simply due to the quality of programs in those divisions.
