re: Has the record SEC payout been discussed?

Well, it doesn't dwarf it, but it exceeds it.

Does that bother you?

Lemme guess. Redneck accounting?



Never change, Randy.

Nebraska used to make a killing from pay per view
No one complained

The fact that the athletics department shares the money with the academic side really doesn't matter, now does it? Not when you have a $215 million annual budget running in the black.

Shouldn't that be the case? I know aggy is of a different mindset, being reliant on academic loans to stay solvent and student fees to pay for Kyle Field and Reed Arena.

Aggy are leeches.

The above post is how I fricking KNOW you are Randolph Duke.

When we built the 12th Man Productions facilities, our plan was all along to eventually put together an Aggie Network. We are better positioned than any other conference school to do it. Having said that, we would still need to invest millions of dollars to hire the staff, and purchase the equipment and air time to do our own network. And while we would have some live programming from what ABC/ESPN and Fox Sports did not select, the bulk of programming would be replays of recent games and rebroadcasts of historical games.

You need to pay closer attention, aggy.

That's not exactly what aggy is chanting in unison on here.

While aggy and Missouri did add leverage and increase payouts to a certain degree, the aggy mantra is that without the cow college in Collie Station, there would be no SEC Network whatsoever.

That hardly refutes the fact that aggy supported single-school networks instead of a conference channel, and in the words of your former AD, was going to build the best one in the conference and had been planned allllll along.

At the time, the Longhorns weren't sure they could carry a network on their own.

Here's a newsflash for you: ESPN offered to pay the production costs, so this concern became irrelevant. No school would have turned down the Longhorn Network contract. Even Dodds was surprised.

Welcome to 2010, aggy

I really feel sorry for this Charles guy.

With every statement I make, whether at 2 p.m. or 2 a.m., that poor bastard gets tons of aggy invective unleashed on him through social media (and maybe text messages and phone calls).

But back to my point. Yes, that is what the aggy AD said. "We've been preparing for an aggy network for years and it's going to be the best in the conference!"

That isn't the statement of someone who supported a conference network.

He was fired soon thereafter, then aggy started bleating about unfair it was to not have a conference network.

Yes it happeneded because of expansion and expansion was happening whether it was with Mizzou and Aggie or not. If anything A&m should be thanking the SEC, yall were broke.

You assume out your arse and conflate the frick out of everything, don't you?

He retired, dumbfrick. I am not saying it wasn't force, but you are play hard and loose with every fact you get....just like Charles/Randy. If there was any pressure on Bill Byrne to retire (there was), it was for NOT taking the SEC deal the FIRST time. He was under MASSIVE scrutiny for getting back into bed the dirty liars at Bellmont.

From his letter at the link YOU provided:

"Let’s talk about conference realignment. We have said from day one our goal was to stay in the Big 12,
and we are doing that minus two. We were asked to provide conference realignment options for our
University leadership to consider, and we did. With all the information available, I believe they made the
right decision.

"I hope you’ll remember as discussions of conference realignment began to surface, I said someone has
to stand up for the student-athletes. It is my sincere belief that staying in the Big 12, where we compete
in the same time zone, get our athletes home from competition at a decent hour, and where they can
play in front of their families and friends, are all very important things to consider. Our athletes and
coaches have skin in the realignment game, and all our coaches and the vast majority of our student-
athletes want to stay where we are. That was a key decision point to me."

"Now, I’ve heard from many, many of you who do not agree with the decision that was made. I
understand that. Every choice we had contained pluses and minuses, and arguments can be made for
and against each decision. Obviously I cannot respond to each and every one of you individually, so here
is a response to the various compiled questions and arguments many of you have made:"

***

"Statement Four: I’m done supporting Texas A&M and will not return until you change conferences.
I regret that very much. One of the challenges we face at Texas A&M is we have never sold out Kyle Field
in season tickets. I attributed that to a margin of our fans that focus on who the Aggies are playing
instead the fact the Aggies are playing. Folks tell me they take pride on being big Aggie supporters. To
the fans on the margin it means they have never missed a game against our friends from the state
capital or a big game in general. Great program’s fans support their team regardless of the opponent.
They are grateful to be in the stadium. My hope is we can build Texas A&M football to be one of those
great programs."


Everything you post is like Randy has his hand up your arse and is controlling your body, like a puppet. That's because you are him.

Now, shut the frick up, Charles/Randy.
