While I agree with your conclusion on ND, why would having their own network be the reason they would not join the Big 12?

ND, just like every school, likes $$$$$. Their NBC contract is less than what most BCS conference teams receive now. If they joined the Big 12, they could increase their annual revenue by $15-20MM.
