At the end of the day I think that Texas and Nebraska actually would like to stay in the Big 12 and some of these talks with other conferences have been about leverage and playing a game of poker with one another. I think Nebraska was hoping to use the rumors of a Big 10 offer to get some concessions from Texas and in turned Texas has been floating this PAC-10 offer to force Nebraska's hand. If Nebraska truly has a Big 10 offer in place they have nothing to worry about, but if not then Texas is trying to scare them into thinking they might be left out in the cold. It is in Texas' best interest to keep the Big 12 together because of the potential revenue for them. Some of the estimates I have seen from Texas writers is that the Texas only network could make them up to 30 million a year. The Pac-10 or Big ten will in no way allow them to have their own network as the Big 12 conference leadership will allow them. I do think that Mizzou will leave at the first oportunity, but they are viewed largely as replaceable by the Big 12. Texas I think right now is just protecting themselves in case other teams leave and the league collapses, but would rather keep their current sweet setup if possible.
