“Apparently this is part of a mass e-mail you sent to multiple Big 12 institutions. Please be informed the Conference office will not be responding to your inquiry.” – Bob Burda
You’re darn right, Assistant Commissioner – Communications Bob Burda. My form email to you was sent to multiple institutions. Ten of them in fact. It served as a litmus test, and your response to it smells like something Najeh Davenport would drop in a closet.
First, my initial email:
Hello Bob,
I hope this email finds you well.
Listen, had some questions, and I’m hoping you can help me out.
Last summer, when the Big 12 narrowly avoided eradication, the major crux of Commissioner Beebe’s resolution centered around a proposed television package that would help increase revenues for the remaining Big 12 schools. Many people wrongly took off with that information, claiming it was a major save that might not only keep the Big 12 together for the short term, but possibly strengthen it to the point that the conference could even be a player in power conference talks when they were revisited in the future.
However, since that time, there has been little or no information (or rumor for that matter) coming forth about any details with a new television package and the Big 12, aside from Texas forging ahead with its own network. That’s news to me since my impression is that since Big 12 TV talks are not set to begin in earnest until sometime next spring, other schools may be uneasy about Texas moving on its own agenda – a major sticking point last summer for the schools that left….and those left behind.
That said, the apparently impending
So, my questions then are for Commissioner Beebe and you.
Where do things stand as he knows them currently? Has there been any recent dialogue with AD’s concerning the rumored Big 12 and/or
And finally, if not, what is the mood within Big 12 circles these days? Are all 10 schools still just as committed to one another as they supposedly were a few months ago?
I really appreciate the help, and if you don’t want to be quoted, that’s absolutely fine though I’d still like to talk by phone or email… I’m working on a story where things are and any insight I could get would be hugely beneficial. At least a timeline of when talks are scheduled in the spring?
Thanks much!
Take care,
-ck
You saw Burda’s answer.
So, here it is Big 12 fans – Texas, pending a Board of Regents vote, is ready to let fly with its own television network in 2011, reported by Orangebloods.com to be worth nearly $30 million next year and $32 million the season after when double-dipped with the current Big 12 Fox Sports Net deal.
It isn’t a shock. The other schools were told
The Big 12 members agreed (were forced) to let Texas form its baby, but only, as insiders tell me, because they were led to believe Texas would form a third-tier package worth a few extra million – while using its weight to bolster a new deal for the Big 12 that would benefit the other nine schools.
Even as recently as Oct. 25, Texas Athletic Director DeLoss Dodds said the school stood to only pocket approximately $3M per year for its efforts…with the hope that it would earn more in the future.
All that effort for a little more than half of Mack Brown’s reported $5.1M salary in 2010?
Riiiigggghhht.
Instead, like it has done from the beginning,
And, the conference has no response to any of this other than to hint that they are upset I dare ask any of the schools about any of this.
Insanity.
It is complete and utter insanity to think
It is complete and utter insanity to think the remaining school presidents and athletic directors, especially those who had a legitimate chance to leave and secure big-time futures, threw their entire departments at a simple proposal that, according to several sources, isn’t expected to be discussed officially until next spring.
Then again, now that Beebe has allowed
Either way, the Big 12, if it’s able, may want to quicken its pace.
On Nov. 3, John Denton, who is part of the TCU radio network, told Erik Gee on 610 The Sports Animal in
Even if it is a rumor and just wishful thinking on TCU’s part, after Friday’s developments, would those schools be willing to listen? If they learned anything from Friday/this summer, the lesson that any interest in the Big 12 has to be self-interest finally should be cemented by now…doesn’t it?
And lastly…
Why did ESPN throw such a pot-buster of a raise at the Longhorns? Just because it’s
If
Maybe nothing. Maybe this is the start.
All of these things, Bob Burda, and the Big 12 won’t respond. That may actually be a good thing, but only if it was because Beebe and the rest of you are too busy actually getting it right this time with more than some, to date, mythical proposal.
SIDE DISH:
Oh, in case you’re interested, my last response to Burda’s email:
Bob,
Thank you for the reply.
Considering the recent developments with
Please be informed that I will report this as the conference’s answer to my inquiry.
Thanks again,
-ck
Nice Curtis
Keep up the good work
are we still wining about texas?
If you have a winning program… you don’t have to complain about Texas. Bill Self does not care about inequity with Texas. Bob Stoops does not care about inequity with Texas. If Frank Martin makes at least the Elite Eight again, he won’t care about it either.
If you don’t like the conference. Leave. Nebraska could… and they did. Otherwise… Shut up and win. Winning cures all ills. This wining about Texas is making me ill. They are not even a perennial power. They had a football championship a few years ago but that is it. There is a bettter team than Texas somewhere else in the Big 12 in every sport.
Rainbow Man
Its not about the winning, its about the spreading of the wealth so other schools can improve their facilities and be able to recruit the same caliber of players as Texas. Of course, as of Saturday, that seems kind of silly, but Texas still gets the best recruits because of what they can offer the players. They will rise up again and with an extra $12 million a year, they will start destroying all the Big 12 schools in the only sport that counts, FOOTBALL.
Don’t waste your time with Rainbow Man….
I’m sure he says that same thing about the Yankees and baseball. Quit whining about the Yankees and their bottomless pit of money and just win regardless of the inequities…blah, blah, blah. His irrational arguments relegate him to the status of a yappy, annoying little dog tied to a leash on the sideline of any legitimate, thoughtful discussion. Just leave him there.
CK, thanks for bringing this to light. It certainly appears that there continue to be very real issues within the B12 conference. This is why I don’t blame Nebraska for leaving. My Tigers would have left as well if given the chance. Unlike most of my fellow alums, I actually didn’t want to go to the Big Ten and give up the traditional rivalries that have existed since the Big 8 and Big 6 conferences were functional, but I certainly understand why the Nubbers or Tigers would want to hop off the tracks of this slow-moving train wreck. It has been apparent for a period of years now that the B12 Commissioner’s office is not particularly effective at championing a Conference-First attitude that benefits all member institutions equally. It’s pretty humorous to see Texas flailing in football this season as they attempt to seal the deal on their own network. I can only hope that their network, like Notre Dame’s, will simply become a way to distribute bad football to lots of people. Eventually, all of this content is going to be distributed via the internet, rather than traditional media models – like Cable TV and satellite media distributors. Once that happens – the ad dollars under the traditonal model will shrivel up and eventually be reallocated for distribution in a different model/medium.
