re: tu/OU not coming until 2024 at the earliest

Espin might help pay to get rid of LN faster. The original deal was 20-year $300 million contract for Longhorn Network but reports are it loses much money per year. So cutting it short gets ESpin out of the balance. Knowing they’ll make more once both teams join its a no brainer to help pay moving costs.

Texas public Universities own some oil leases which were donated by a booster years ago. The Horns have the money regardless of ESPN.

However, OU has the money the question they face, is when they want to spend it. Spending 80 million to make 15 or so more million for one year is not a black and white business decision.

The source hates OU but it is a great smack for the other teams. His opinion is based on a budget that has not been approved. He speculated the rest.
