I've seen mentioned that SDSU and SMU may enter with a lesser share, perhaps because they haven't achieved the same designations. Avi ran through the usual other options and each has flaws that are harder to remedy. I do understand why Kliavkoff is beefing so hard with Big XII. Yormark moving his deal up created a revenue ceiling (instead of using the B1G as the baseline Kliavkoff was pushing, albeit unsuccessfully). Hopefully the Arizona schools that (reportedly) are peeved won't defect.
