  KC Star: After a year of fear, Alden likes Mizzou's position in Big 12

  "I’d say we’re in really good shape in the league that we’re in," Alden said. "And the league is, too."

  The main reason for that is the new Fox television contract set to go into effect in 2012, an agreement that will pay the Big 12 $1.2 billion. With two fewer shares to distribute, that will mean more money for Mizzou and every other remaining Big 12 member.

  "We’re in great position certainly with another bite in the apple in four years with the other network for television," Alden said, referencing more anticipated revenue from a new ABC/ESPN contract that currently pays only $60 million to the league.

  "I’m glad for all of us," Alden said. "For Tiger Nation, for Mizzou as an institution, for the Big 12.

  "The anxiety that was going through everybody around the country last year at this time, it wasn’t good for anybody."
