I have had thoughts along this same line. These far left, progressive and woke places tend to have a culture shift when it comes to football, especially.

How many years has it been since any of the west coast teams have been relevant? Washington and Oregon have been in the four team playoff. Oregon did make it to the CG in 2014.

Austin is a liberal city, no question.

UT has a very liberal reputation. However, almost half of the undergrads are in the Business & Engineering Colleges, which tend to be very conservative. The Lib side gets most of the press, (surprise!, surprise!) but the conservative base is the foundation of the University.

The business/legal side of the equation controls the Endowment, PUF (land, oil & money) and the Administration. They do that pretty well.

There is a focus on the Football & Basketball programs, about the only things on campus that don't perform at the 90+ percentile. I betting they get that shite fixed.
