$90MM per year [averaged over the contract]

I wonder if Oklahoma and Texas get half of that. It is not mentioned in the article. Big 12 has 10 members.

The Big 12 and Fox Sports announced a 13-year deal Wednesday that officials say will ensure the long-term stability of every member of the league. The deal, which starts with the 2012 football season, will pay the league about $90 million a year when averaged over the length of the contract. ...

Texas and ESPN recently announced a 20-year, $300 million deal for a 24-hour network that will broadcast Longhorns sports, including at least one football game and eight basketball games per season, and other sports and academic content. Oklahoma is studying the possibility of creating its own network.

Ah, yes, Op-Ed says unequal revenue distribution will stay.
