re: Is there any concern about Texas' willingness to be a team player as part of the SEC?

The real question is, which SEC team will leave that cancer first? Will it be Alabama?

Maybe we should ask Nebraska what they think?>>>>>>>>>

I don’t expect Alabama to go 1-9 vs Texas like Nebraska did.

I would hope the schools in this conference are made of tougher stuff. I think Bama's post-Saban regression to the mean won't be as abrupt as Nebraska's was post-Osbourne.

My sis is a UT grad. They’re a bit delusional in that they don’t realize how their behavior and insistence on having their own network ran off half the Big 12. They have no ability, collectively, to see their own part.

We didn't have a choice. Based almost entirely on Nick Saban's success at Alabama, ESPN created the perception that the SEC was packed top to bottom with powerhouse programs. Even though the reality is that it's just as top heavy as any other conference, the perception filtered down to recruits and the perception became reality. It's clear that few of you want us here, but y'all created the situation that forced the move.

Well the truth is Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Florida, Tennessee, and Georgia have played for and won NC. All but Tennessee have played multiple NC football games. Since 1990 the SEC has won 16, the Big 12 has won 2 NC

In basketball, since 1990 Arkansas, Kentucky, Florida, USCe, and Auburn have been to the Final Four, winning 6 NC, Big 12 has won 3 (but the last two)

Since 1990, in baseball that SEC has won 13 NC (Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, USCe, LSU, Georgia, Florida),the Big 12 has 3 NC

So ESPN was right

You're a bit delusional that we insisted on anything.

The BigXII rules, which every school voted in favor of, left Tier3 rights in the hands of the individual schools to monetize as they saw fit. A conference network was voted down 11 to 1. A plan was proposed to us by ESPN to monetize our Tier 3 rights and we accepted it. No one had a problem with OU's monetization solution. No one had a problem with Kansas's monetization solution.

"Half" the Big12 ran because we were kicking their arse on the field more often than not.

Shhhh...

You're posting too much honesty while other fanbases are trying to drag Texas because of what they saw on twitter from a rival fanbase

I also love how Texas accepting $300 million to have an ESPN network entirely to themselves was somehow a bad decision on our end, when every single fanbase that participates on this forum would be 100% for it if it were their school

So funny how your stupidity seems to think we couldn’t get into your school. We could. Lol

What's with all this fear-mongering, we're gonna play nice you'll see. We have a small list I'm sure like the SEC media days closer to us (maybe houston), as well as a rotating SEC championship at the jerry world, and NRG.

HA, you will get none of this. No one gives a damn about those garish orange bitches down in that liberal hellhole known as Austin.

Texas is not and will not be relevant again for several years.

The only reason we deigned ourselves to your inclusion is because better universities (i.e., UNC) said no to the SEC. Texas was merely an after-thought. You will not be running anything. Good luck finding three wins in conference.

By the way, the only decent city in Texas is Dallas, and most of the big $ there are out-of-staters with no affiliation with UT-Austin.

Demand anything you like, the only response you’ll receive is another arse kicking courtesy of KU football. Now, go suck your gender non-confirming Austin boyfriend’s dick.

texas fans = scummy douchebags

eerrybody knows it











vijayjay tunnel is NOT ready for the SEC

Sure - U.T. has the bank roll and recruiting base to be a heavy hitter.

But this is the SEC - they're about to be playing with the Big Boys.

They'll respect it.

Also, recall what the Mighty Fighting Tigers of Louisiana Savage University did in Austin on the way to the greatest college football season of all time.

The truth hurts, baby.

They really have convinced this board that everything is a burnt orange media conspiracy, and that Texas is the boogeyman

This is unfortunate you believe this. The reality is that the your media exposure s a double edged sword.

Just as the world knows of your brand and image. Over the last 20 years the world has also seen your actions.

It’s been discussed on message boards for a decade. Indeed, Nebraska and Colorado left the Big12 before A&M did.

Prior to that, Arkansas left the SWC, because of the same underlying issue, Texas wanted to control the conference.

A&M became vocal primarily when we were forced do do so due to Texas trying to force a school that was larger than they were to a conference they didn’t want to go to.

It’s not some boogeyman conspiracy, there are multiple teams, with years of historical evidence that is well known and well documented.

There’s only one reason you are leaving the Big 12. Only one.

Because there are no teams left that will put up with Texas running the Big 12 and what has been left is a shell of mediocrity that has hurt Texas due to their own actions.

Welcome to the SEC. But don’t come here trying to revise history. We know exactly who you are.
