Neither OU nor anyone else foresaw when they filed that lawsuit that the end result would be that each conference is the bargaining unit for media rights. The SEC and Big Ten were already well-positioned before that Supreme Court decision, but being in one of those conferences is now a far larger advantage over being in OU's Big 8 or Big 12 just because each conference negotiates its own TV contracts.
