You were for it before you were against it. You tried to look like an innocent party who was taken advantage of. All of that is a lie. You were complicit.
Your memory is very poor. It took a vote of Big 12 members to allow Texas to get that second game (a conference game) on the network, which stipulated that no conference member could be forced into playing on the Longhorn Network, and they'd be paid about $250,000 for doing so.
But y'all had already hauled arse by then, I guess you might not know this.

You didn't expect ESPN to back a single-school network or for the payout to be $300 million.
No, we figured yall were talking with the conference about it because yall had a plan. We didn't know how much money was on the table, but we didn't agree to let Texas have a conference network with one OOC game for the frick of it- we knew yall had a plan.
What pissed us off is when yall went back on what you agreed to in order to get that $300 million. You can't and won't find a single quote from anyone at A&M at that time that was offended that the Longhorn Network contract was going to make Texas too much money. We were offended you sold ESPN content that we never agreed you could sell them. Then instead of fixing the situation Texas trying to placate us. frick that.

The rest of your complaints that followed were just noise.
There it is everyone- Longhorn arrogance on display.
Add it to the footnotes when the history book of the Longhorn Network failure is written years from now.

What plan was that? To leave the Big 12?
That really doesn't make sense. The vote to allow ANY Big 12 member to pursue a third-tier network (not just Texas) came AFTER Nebraska and Missouri (and I guess Colorado) had already left. AND after Fox boosted the TV payouts.
Edit: I'm sorry, Missouri left later.

But there is a point that regardless of the reasons, Aggies were on the good side of unequal revenue sharing. Dodds is a complete douche and has ripped the conference apart but the Ags weren't completely screwed on things like revenue sharing. They were happy to take more than an equal piece.

I would like them only for the fact you can move Bama and Auburn to ththe east Lee a competitive west division and keep all of the rivalries intact. We'd need to go to 9 or 10 division games and rotate the opposite division every year.

Wrong. Mizzou the welfare case was hiking up their skirt and showing the BIG 10 some leg long before any of that ever took place like the cheap welfare sluts you are.
Mizzou just took advantage of the situation to go mooch off of another conference for more money after the BIG 10 didn't return their "glances" and the SEC stepped in to take the 2am beer goggle slut home with them.
Lol.
You are salty af.
We left because we could and while the gettin was good.
The writing was on the wall for the Big 12 the moment the LHN was formed and our minds were made up the second Boren tried to big time our press conference.
Texas blew that league up. That's the fact. OU was an accessory because for some reason they were content to suckle bevo teet.

can the NCAA block a conference from adding more teams?
for me, the SEC adding a program like Okla is about stacking the conference, trying to guarantee 2 plus playoff spots.

The SEC isn't going to add Oklahoma.
It is beyond stupid to consider it reality.

Oh, B.S. Missouri tried to leave the Big 12 in 2010 (but Nebraska took your spot).
The Longhorn Network contract with ESPN wasn't signed until Jan. 2011.
You sound like the Democrats blaming the Russians.

The last two SEC expansions haven't gone so well for us, so hopefully, we'll get the next one right and just take Georgia Tech and Clemson

If Texas came here the LHN would have to go and I think all parties could easily agree to that outside of Texas. Complete disaster of a network.

Because some people just see that Oklahoma is a "marque" name. They get all giddy over the idea of adding a big name team to the conference.
Well the truth is Oklahoma has not been pulling down monster ratings. As major teams left the Big 12 their big games have dwindled to the yearly tilt with Texas and a big out of conference game.
Last year's Oklahoma/Texas game was on... Foxsports 1. Not Fox. Foxsports 1.
They are the current version of Nebraska. A good program that doesn't draw huge numbers and who is looking more and more like their glory days are behind them.
Sure we could take them but we would be buying something based on it being great a while ago, not great now. "Why buy a brand new Ford when I can buy a good ole Studebaker!"
Texas, meanwhile, is football cancer.
Plus Oklahoma, while they did not frick anyone in the Big 12 like Texas... did hold people down while Texas fricked them. Gosh, who wouldn't want a program with a noted history of screwing over their conference mates?

Nebraska left because yall refused to pool Tier 3 rights once you saw that the Longhorn Network could be a huge money maker.
B.S.
quote:
While many have blamed Texas and its plans to start its own Longhorn TV network as the reason a Big 12 network never got off the ground, Nebraska wasn’t on board with a conference network, either.
Nebraska’s support was conditional on the high-profile schools taking a larger cut of that revenue, too — a condition some schools strongly opposed.
As a result of those talks, Nebraska, like Texas, was now moving to create its own network. A consultant’s study had concluded that a Husker network would succeed and bring in seven-figure revenue on top of what Nebraska was getting from major network telecasts.
Perlman said NU was on track to have its network running by the fall of 2011 — actually ahead of Texas’ timetable.
Ouch, this is from the Omaha newspaper

Good lord.
How many times do you people have to be told that further expansion inside the footprint diminishes returns? GT, FSU, Clemson, Louisville and tu aren't coming. Tulane, Memphis, Southern Miss, UH and TCU aren't coming either. And schools from low population states like OKLAHOMA aren't going anywhere.
Good grief....
