Funding for UT, of course, caused the departure of Nebraska and Colorado from the Big 12. The conference's funding formula favored schools on TV a lot - meaning schools with fewer major metros got less money.
And UT would have joined the Pac 10, except at the last minute, it decided it could make more money by creating its own television network (a la the Big Ten Network) and cramming a new funding formula down the throats of what's left of the Big 12. Mizzou and KU got screwed, big time.
UT will have the rest of the athletic world in its rearview mirror for a long, long time.
