I don't even care enough to read about what "really happened." But I know that whenever teams have left conferences Texas has been a part of, they say they left because Texas was being unreasonable. Maybe it's all a case of mass hysteria spread out over decades and all these schools were mistaken.
I also know there used to be really good football being played in the middle of the country and now it can't even support a conference. Everyone but Texas blames Texas.
Now they're just going to be the newbie in a conference that doesn't particularly care for them one way or another. This is the end result of prioritizing short term gains. Taking a bigger piece of the pie generally doesn't pay off long term if you're causing the pie to shrink.

That is the worst attempt at revisionist history I’ve ever seen.

"A&M offered TV partnership, Texas says"
Those two words in the headline say all you
need to know about this piece of schlock by
ESPN.

SMU got the death penalty for shite Texas was the biggest at and Oklahoma was proficient as well.
Get out of here with your bleeding shite.
I do remember
That's right I'm 54 and my memory of college football goes back to the mid 70s. OU and Texas were knows to be dirty programs from way back. Ask the Boz about being recruited by both.

Why didn't UT push for a Big 12 network instead of a Lone Star / Longhorn network? I call BS.
I'm seeing that many of you non Texas posters are tiring of their bullshitee before they play the first down. It is possible they will get no honeymoon. And it is possible they will be reviled by the balance of the conference.
You guys don't even get the entire history of the BIG 12. All 12 schools boards had a meeting long before the Longhorn Network was even thought of, and they voted not to have a conference network. 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. Years later, 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...A&M decides to run off crying like the punks they are and blame big bad Texas for their hurt feelings..The rest is history...

You are going to blame Texas now because the NCAA changed rules on partial qualifiers, and teams like Nebraska and Colorado couldn't change with the times? Are you also going to blame them for changing demographics in the rust belt and kids down South not wanting to play in the cold?
Man, Texas really is all powerful to have that much reach...

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.

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.

Perhaps you could explain Alfred Jackson and his buddies all on the staff of the State of Texas print shop in Austin? You remember, the sip football players that got paid with state tax dollars but had a hard time finding the building where they "worked"?
Everyone was cheating. Only one school was using taxpayer dollars to cheat.

Jealousy is a bad thing...Most of these teams that go around talking about Texas being the big bad wolf would not have ever been in a P5 conference if it weren't for Texas and OU to a lesser extent paying the bills...You think Baylor and TCU deserve to be P5?
They are 2 of the ungrateful fanbases and Admins that do the most complaining about big bad Texas, when it was Texas that propped them up. The "have nots" will always complain about the "haves"...
This is a great point. I mean we all know that A&M is the biggest complainer about how Texas behaves and they could never, ever leave the Big 12 for another P5 Conference because they are dependent on Big Bro Texas to pay their bills.

I won't back down on this bullshite. I actually read that entire redacted LHN contract, I don't think any "Texas fans" who have shown up lately have.
