Did the Oklahoma schools (OSU included) have lousy openers or are they in line for lousy seasons? Drifting towards the latter.

• CBS’ Dennis Dodd had the scoop on how much money OSU and fellow Big 12 schools are likely to get under the new TV deals:

First, the Big 12 will grow back to 12. Then it will begin to find its revenue worth. Industry sources have put the new per-team revenue at $20 million-$25 million per year. While that would be a huge boost for the AAC teams emigrating to the Big 12 — those schools make only $7 million per year — the existing Big 12 schools would have reduce their bottom lines by about a third, coming down from $37 million in annual media rights payouts.
