To who? Certainly not to Texas.
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.

No, even if this is the long term result. I know that may not sit well with you and I certainly don't care. Markets and situations change and I'm not a fan of the Big 12. I am a fan of Texas. The other schools in the conference need to do what's best for them. Perhaps doing what is best for them is trying to push the arguments that Boren is making. Maybe they will bolt like A&M did. It's what happens to institutions. They change.

No, you Aggies consider the SEC part of your brand. Texas does not consider the Big12 part of its brand. The Big 12 is it's conference. You all have made a business decision to make this about your conference, and Texas never has.
(It's a chicken an egg deal, but the Big 12 has a natural geographic disadvantage that the SEC doesn't have. I'm not arguing that Texas might have more conference loyalty if it were in the Pac or the SEC.)
Our freshman level accounting and business acumen have led to the richest revenue machine in college sports. I'm okay with it.

Will take your accounting tips under advisement. I'm loving the show two, because I'm thinking Texas will flip at least one recruit from A&M, and will make some improvements on the football field this year.
