B12 may be between a rock and a hard spot with the Oklahoma desire for a conference network and the Texas LHN. Wonder if Texas would be ok with being cut out of a B12 network? Wondering if two networks are even financially possible?

'Bowlsby has said previously that Longhorn Network was a “boulder in the road” to having a Big 12 network, like the Big 10, Pac-12 or SEC has. The Longhorns get approximately $15 million annually from ESPN.

“I don’t think we could enter into a network without the University of Texas participating,” Bowlsby said. “They’re a flagship program within our conference and they’re always going to be. But there are things in place that are, well, I wouldn’t say longstanding at this point — they’re four years into a 20-year contact, so there’s a long term commitment. But we need to keep everybody at the table talking and discussing to see how all the boats can rise.'
