I'm sure that gap would close if Houston got the $36 mil each big 12 team gets instead of the the $8 mil it currently gets from tv contracts
For sure. My point is that even the haves of the G5 are at a huge disadvantage over the have nots of the power 5. Tv money is huge. I’d be thrilled if we were getting money comparable to the AAC with mostly Saturday games.
