In reference to the Univ. of Arkansas to the Big 12 / and EW's statement that they make more money in the SEC.
That's what one of my best buddies from there always says. My reply has always been that they are a poor man's SEC team. They will never win that conference, and don't get the same caliber athlete across the board (yes, I enjoyed watching your RB's) that the top schools there get. And the SEC has more top recruiting schools then the Big 12.
Now, in the Big12, you may get less money, but you have more natural rivalries and travel distances. You get less money, but you would automatically rise to a year-in-year-out contender in the North = BETTER chance to win a conf title. = BETTER chance to get to a BCS game.
$$$$, both conferences do a even share of the money. You can only send 2 teams TOPS to BCS bowls, and the Big 12 does just fine getting their 2 in each year = $$$$ for Arkansas.... However, the SEC TV contract is a monster, and that is definitely a better deal then the one the 12 has now.
/end 2cents.
