To who? Certainly not to Texas. To the Big12? We don't know the long term, and we don't know what changes they will make? To college football? How do we know the lessons learned from this won't create new media deals that aren't better for college football as a whole?

Not sure why would anyone give a shite other than to see how it plays out.

We don't. Like I said, long-term, there are lots of potential pitfalls. Doesn't mean they shouldn't have done it. However, it clearly enraged their conference mates enough that 2 left and the other conference power is clearly still mad about it 3 years later.

I don't care about it at all, it just seems to be the current discussion at hand so I am discussing it.

So you don't think that having 9 of the opponents on your schedule becoming increasingly insignificant and financially uncompetitive is an issue? The conference you were a part of for like 90 years failed for this very reason and it was a huge deal. Again. Absolutely the DUMBEST smart kids I know. It's as if you are all completely devoid of any business knowledge past freshman level accounting. The Big 12 is a part of your brand, and the LHN leverages against that brand, instead of against others. To lack the self awareness to even remotely acknowledge that your actions can have negative implications is amazing. I'm not complaining, honestly. I love it. Y'all are the DUMBEST smart kids I know. Keep it up, please. I'm loving the shite show.
