Their legislature doesnt meet in a regular session until 2 years from now (they just met). The horns governor would have to insert himself into the issue and place it as an item in their special session or call a new one. Ohhh and they can’t get a quorum with the dems in DC and even if they could the horns speaker of the house would slow walk it to death. It isn’t happening!
When the big 12 was created, baylor and tech had the governor, lt governor, and either speaker or president (forgot which).

Isn't the TX legislature in DC spreading the Delta Delta Delta variant of the China flu?

And they don't have a quorum because half of their state legislature is in D.C. giving everyone Covid-19.

That doesn’t matter. It isnt part of the session call. It can’t even be debated. The gov would have to amend the call or have a new special session. He isn’t getting involved.

This is exactly why it was kept from ATM until the last minute

You shouldn’t hold your breath for that, most of those politicians care about schools not named texas University.

Never hold up in court. First of all A&M already established precedent and second, you can not deny any organization a change to improve their status so as not cause harm to a second party. Like denying a divorce because the other person is ugly.

Actually, they were saying that A&M has known for several months now, that’s why the narrative has shifted to it being a UT board of regents member leaking it

LOL, they are publicly funded institutions. The legislature can dictate anything they want to them that they want
