COLORADO SPRINGS -- After a day of cordial meetings for coaches and athletic directors and another day of golf and socializing, Big 12 Conference officials get back to work today with at least one contentious issue on the agenda.

School presidents and chancellors are scheduled to meet today and Friday to discuss a variety of issues, including the possibility of modifying the conference's revenue sharing plan. Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe said he plans to brief the conference CEOs on how other conferences handle revenue sharing.

Unlike counterparts such as the Big Ten or Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big 12 does not share all of its revenue equally among its members.

All revenue outside of television and NCAA basketball tournament money is shared under the current plan. Half of television revenue is shared with the other half set aside. Schools earn a greater share of that pool based on how many of their nonconference men's basketball games and football games are televised. Schools also earn a greater share for participating in the NCAA tournament and advancing in the bracket.

Big-budget schools such as Texas are in favor of individual schools keeping more of what they earn. Small-budget schools such as Iowa State prefer the current model."My motive is to come to a conclusion," Beebe said. "Whether that can happen or not this week I don't know, but my motive is to come to conclusion about it so that we can get on with other big items that I want our conference to be engaged in the future."

Colorado does well under the system when it comes to television money, but it benefits from other programs when it comes to money earned through March Madness. CU hasn't been to the NCAA tournament since 2003.

CU is not likely to be in favor of a change coming off a year in which it set a school record with 11 nationally or regionally televised games. Since 1996 when the Big 12 began, 111 of Colorado's 148 football games have been televised. In the past two seasons -- rebuilding years as Dan Hawkins has started to reshape the program -- the Buffs have played on television 18 times.

Some estimates are that schools with more television exposure earned more than $1 million more than their less-televised counterparts. Big 12 bylaws require a super majority of nine of more votes to change the revenue sharing structure.

Earlier this week men's basketball coaches voted unanimously against adding two more conference games to the schedule. Athletic directors will discuss the issue today. It's possible they could go against the coaches' wishes and vote for the plan because they believe it would save on some of the costs of nonconference scheduling.

Coaches were opposed to the idea because they believe their teams will beat each other up by adding additional games. However, they have committed to trying to schedule more nonconference games against power conference teams. Some athletic directors are likely to see that as a wash.
