He mentions the SEC in it, to keep it SEC Rant related.

Wonder how this is going over with the Commish of the Texas Ten..

quote:

Texas Tech head coach Tommy Tuberville joined Rivals Radio.

“I don’t think this conference will last long because there is too much disparity between all the teams. In the SEC, for instance, Vanderbilt makes as much money in the television contract as Florida. Everybody is good with it. Everybody is on the same page. Everyone gets the same votes.

“That doesn’t happen here in the Big 12. We have some teams that get a little bit more money and have a little bit more stroke than some of the other teams. And when that happens, you’re gonna have teams looking for better avenues to leave and reasons to leave.”

“We have a 10-team league right now,” Tuberville said. “But I just don’t know how long that’s gonna last, to be honest with you.”

“Being here for six months, I’ve just kind of noticed there’s just not a lot of camaraderie in this league like you have in the SEC. … It starts with the commissioner. And I think Mike Slive has done a good job. Roy Kramer did a good job of building a base where everybody was on the same page. And that just has not happened here in the Big 12. It’s just a matter of time, to be honest with you, unless everybody gets on the same page.”

I wonder if they realize yet that he is just using them as a springboard back into the SEC. He is gonna want the LSU job bad when Leslie finally gets the axe.

I imagine it's pretty frustrating for a school like texas tech to be in that situation. Oklahoma, Texas A & M, and Missouri all have other options if they want out but Texas Tech really does not have any.
