•Beebe was campaigning for the league's then-12 teams to equally share the revenue from Tier I and Tier II media rights. Nebraska stood in the way, opposing its introduction before leaving for the Big Ten, which shares all of its revenue equally, including Tier III media rights. "Nebraska was one of the biggest objectors of equal revenue rights, and their president Harvey Perlman said that," Beebe said. "We could have done this two years ago and none of this would have happened."

Nebraska was green with Texas (UT) envy. They used to be the big dog in the conference. That abruptly changed with Texas and Oklahoma in the picture.

Kind of feel for the guy seems like he was just the fall guy.
