You were silent on Dodds. My feeling is Dodds was long in the tooth when they had Kevin Weiberg and let him go to the B1G. My argument is the B12 had better overall sports (nobody had left yet) so establishing a network before the B1G was the right move. More importantly, it maintained the B12 as a market leader as they had already gone to 12 and a CCG. What do you think?

missed the Dodds, was too focused on my boy Butterteeth Brown. Dodds is an interesting topic.. 2 sides of the fence. Was he the selfish overlord of the evil empire or was he the only guy with vision and a set of balls who got tired of a bunch of pawns twiddling their thumbs?

Unless Dodds forced the hands of four other universities, you can't put the blame on him for B12 not listening to Weiberg. DD certainly wasn't long in tooth at that point.. he struck arguably the greatest deal in collegiate marketing ever. 2010ish is when DD became Mr Sabertooth tiger.

don't think we agree on Patterson, my point was that he's proof Texas is academics first. When UT admin realized he was only chasing the dollar w/ no regard to much else they canned him less than a 1/3 into his deal and paid $5M to do so.

If Texas was money first they'd be in the SEC
