I always love it when a Husker fan jumps in to tell me how Texas is destroying the Big 12. A&M had voted lock-step, 100% of the time, along with Texas and on every major issue in the Big 12 (revenue sharing, conf HQ location, conf title game location, etc). In fact, every conference member voted lock-step with Texas (even Colorado) on every vote. The Big 12 didn't have a Texas problem, it had a Nebraska problem.
Now, aggie is all in a lather about the network (which it has known was coming for years) and HS football games being broadcast on the network (which was announced in January, but nobody cared until the season got close) but a Husker is in no position to talk about single school networks since your own administration admitted that Nebraska was further along than Texas in developing its own network before you guys ran off to join the Big 10........and after losing 9 games in 10 tries to Texas, I do mean ran off......

So other than a pissing match between Neb and Tex, this pointless.
I think UT folks know that those around them are lookign for ways out. It'll work out best for everyone. UT can go independent, and continue to talk about how great they are to anyone that will listen, and on their own network, maybe someone will. And aTm can come play in the SEC and we'll have one more place to travel to away games. Seems like a winner to me.

You are a complete moron.
Nebraska wasn't looking into it's own network so it could strong arm the conference members in moving conference games on it to make it succeed nor would they have had the backing of the monopoly network player in CFB to help it do so. Nor would it have likely been in the business of publicizing high-school recruits games.
Texas fans act like everyone out there operates like Texas, they don't. Not every school believes they can or should constantly sh*t where they sleep for short term maximizing of dollars at the expense of everyone that is forced to associate with them.
If the big 12 problems were solely a Nebraska problem, you wouldn't be seeing this come up again a week after Nebraska is gone and roar into another rumor firestorm within a month.
Retard.

SEC. It's going to come eventually, better to be proactive and pick the teams you want, than to be reactive and get stuck with what you can salvage.
For example, what if there is no A&M/SEC deal? And as a result, the PAC-12 offers to take A&M without Texas, which decides to go independent. A&M decides that the SEC isn't interested, they see a way out from under Texas' shadow and bolt.
Now what does the SEC have in terms of options in capturing the Texas media markets? Rice/Houston and TCU/SMU? Tech and Baylor? UTEP and North Texas? Maybe live with LSU getting some Houston eyeballs and try for OU or OK State for some indirect penetration of the DFW market? Or say to hell with it and try to hammerlock the Florida market with FSU and Miami?
The PAC-12 is going to 16 teams at some point. Book it. And they already tried to corner the Texas media market last summer. They will try again.

Spot on - it is imperative to keep looking ahead, especially when you are the top dog.

I'm sure Nebraska had purely benevolent reasons for starting their own network.

Because no one is interested in Nebraska high school football.

If Nebraska had been offered the same $300 million deal by ESPN, you are saying they would have turned it down?

The LHN didn't exist when Nebraska was in the league. It is funny to hear A&M cry about fairness and equality among conference members when last summer they agreed to a new Big 12 revenue sharing model where A&M is guaranteed more TV revenue $ than 70% of the teams in the Big 12.

You are a broken record of the same misinformation. That statement isn't true. A&M is pissed that UTa is trying to show HS recruits game on the LHN and that they are trying to show conference games on the LHN. It was agreed that HS games and conference games would not be shown. And you arrogant asshats are trying to do it anyway. You have 2 options, don't show it (which will breach the LHN contract you signed knowing it was agreed upon to not do) or show the games and watch A&M and the SEC get rich together. I've heard a 14 team SEC would get nearly double what teams are currently getting. Lord I hope that's true

It was announced in January that the LHN would have high school games and no one cared for months & months.

No one cared or the media/message boards didn't comment on it?
are you claiming to know what our administration was doing behind closed doors?
Message boards aren't real life, Bill from DC

i heard a pretty good take on this today on Finebaum. saying that A&M benefits more being in the SEC than the Big 12 b/c texas recruits would likely play at A&M over Texas simply b/c of the SEC and its schedule. Also, A&M joining benefits Arkansas.

Of course the administration is trying to keep a lid on everything. They said it last year that they did not like the twitter steamroller and rumor mill. Now that they've had all year to think about it, and see what the sips are really up to, it is likely a done deal.
The question now is, do we go in 2012 or 2013. According to John Lopez (texags) on ESPN Dallas today, we have about 2 weeks to send the letter of intent to slive, or it will have to wait till next year. There is something in the contract with the big12 that requires notice.
I am guessing the deadline is the reason for all the smoke. It is hard for a school this big to make a move like this and not have someone leak the info.
