Texas saves college football

I'm still not perfectly clear on what just happened to the college football landscape, other than I know that Texas just made a lot of schools really happy, including themselves. But here's what I'm hearing so far but am still a little unclear:

1. Texas can and will build their own TV network and doesn't have to share a penny of it with anyone?

2. Texas will receive 25% of the Big 12 TV package, the other 9 schools share the other 75%...this one can't be right...can it?

3. The Big 12 is now the Big 10 because they can't afford to add any other school because Texas will bolt because their 25% will be smaller....right?

If the above is true..the conference should be re-named Texas and it's 9 Bitches - T9 for short (sorry, profanity necessary here to drive home the point)....or Texas Hold'em (cuz Texas is holdin' all the cards here baby).

I do realize that without this deal, the Big 12 goes away. If there is no more movement, how stupid does Missouri look..they basically begged their way into the Big 10 and lost?!!!!!! What most don't realize is these moves were done with eyeballs and fan loyalty on the line, not boundaries, tradition, rivalry or much less common sense. Nebraska has a rabid national fan base for football (Jim Delaney, B10 commissioner likes that)...Missouri, Iowa State, Pittsburgh fit the Big 10 (natural rivals in conference, proximity, tradition and great academics)...sorry, your football tradition doesn't attract the type of person who would demand BTN from their cable company like an NU fan. Bottom line, that's all that matters to JD. Heck, if Fairbanks Roofing, Siding, and Construction College in Alaska had what Nebraska has JD would snap 'em up in a hurry.

Teams Happiest:

Texas, Notre Dame (they can stay status quo without being forced into the Big Ten) Kansas (top 5 BB program spared)

Teams Happy:

Kansas State & Iowa State(these schools had nothing to offer and a ton to lose)

Team Happy this is over:

Texas Tech (some say they were in a Texas package some say they weren't...OMG I can't imagine the sweatin' their fan base was doing).

Teams Indifferent:

OK, OKSU, and Texas A&M (most likely would have gone east or west with Texas)

Teams looking foolish:

Missouri, B12 Commissioner's office

Don't do this or I'll write a blog about you

In the past week or so, I've noticed some juicy instances of bad behavior in the sports world.

1. Chicago Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup, Philadelphia Flyer fans boo as they hoist it. Really, Philly, are you that bitter?

2. Jake's baseball team is playing Cottage Grove last weekend (btw, is anyone from Cottage Grove, MN?)...the whole game their team is imitating a girls softball team with cheerleading like cheers. With the game out of reach (in their favor) a kid hits a nice gapper for a double knocking in a few more meaningless runs. The cheer this time was a drumroll sounding noise from one kid followed by the whole team shouting, "oh, myyyyyyyyy!" I need to remind the readers their coach was 6 feet away fully capable of putting a sock in it.

3. Brian Ching, a well establish Striker in the US was the last player cut from the US National World Cup team was greeted by opposing LA Galaxy fans "US Reject". That's a new one, thanks LA for entering the "we wanna be like Philly" contest.

4. Watching the Fullerton Regional in the NCAAs this past week..the home Team CSF flipping bat after bat in celebration of their home runs. CSF Baseball just made my "list" of teams to cheer against (see Notre Dame football, UND Hockey, Duke basketball, etc).
