re: Big 12 is screwed

There's plenty of land out in West Texas (hundreds of thousands of acres) that belongs to the University of Texas Board of Regents, and which puts your cow pastures in College Station to shame.

You see, it has oil under it.

And I notice that you don't dispute that Aggy was founded as a branch of the University of Texas. FAIL.

The land in College Station had oil under it, as well, if memory serves me.

UT has gobs of money. But A&M made the smartest choice from a financial standpoint to leave the Big XII. Perhaps the best choice they made ever in terms of athletics.

So much so, that I actually believe A&M has surpassed UT in terms of athletic revenue. I could be wrong, but I believe that's the case.
