No Tiers!
The Trib (Dave Matter): Big 12 clarifies: No tiersIn essence, there will be no tiers, Commissioner Dan Beebe relayed through another Big 12 staff member. The league does not expect the current revenue distribution model to change under the new 10-team configuration. It would require a super majority of votes to change the model, eight of 10 schools, which is not a likely scenario once Nebraska and Colorado depart the league.
