Former Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe says he pushed for revenue sharing in the conference. One of the first items on the Big 12's agenda after ousting Beebe as commissioner was agreeing to equally share revenue from the conference's major TV rights. It was a "bittersweet" development for Beebe, who said that it was something he attempted two years ago. "It could have kept all 12 together," Beebe said. "I proposed it two years ago when Nebraska and Colorado were in the league as we prepared for our television negotiations we did last spring."
