No link...no post.  You know the rules around here.  And leave the kids alone.  They're kids.  Lovelly kids.

The only link I could find with information from the press conference:

http://www.cyclonefanatic.com/forum/big-xii-conference/93759-big-12-beebe-deal-news-conference.html

Beebe promised the schools a certain amount of money due to a TV deal he had locked up.  Many were expecting him to announce the specifics of the deal in today's press conference.  Instead, he said the TV deal has not been worked on yet. 

They're all pretty pissed.

per espn:

AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas officials says they are committed "long-term" to the Big 12.

Texas president William Powers, Jr., said Tuesday that Texas led the way in keeping the foundering league together as the Big Ten and Pac-10 courted several Big 12 schools. Nebraska (Big Ten) and Colorado (Pac-10) will both be leaving over the next two years.

Powers says there were no new guarantees of big-money television revenue, but a key point for Texas staying put was keeping its media rights.

That keeps Texas on course for possibly launching its own network.
