re: Facts about Texas “destroying” two conferences.

quote:

---

A&M, Nebraska, Texas and OU all voted "NO" to a conference network because they all thought they could do better having their own networks.

False. They voted no because it was a risky idea at the time, as the B1G Network hadn't proven the model yet. Also the PAC shows us that just having a conference network doesn't guarantee its success without a good media partner.

Texas decides to act on that vote and everyone gets their panties in a wad because Texas was actually the first to get their own network.

No one had a problem with Texas getting a Tier 3 network, everyone in the Big 12 knew that was coming when yall carved out the inventory for such networks.

The problem was when the LHN actually launched and ESPN greatly overpaid because Texas promised all kinds of shite BEYOND what the Big 12 allowed for such networks such as high school games and more than a single football like agreed. It was very obvious after the LHN Contract got into the open that Texas was planning to ask forgiveness rather than permission in dealing with the Big 12 when it came to the LHN and so A&M said frick that.
