Literally none of that will ever happen
But things have changed, and it’s not even up for argument. I’ve grown up around it, and the shift isn’t even subtle.

The UT administration’s obsession with creating a more academically driven university (there was nothing wrong with it’s academic standing before, btw… it’s always been a good school) has arguably come at the expense of a great deal of its traditional Texas identity.

The student body is arguably less uniformly invested in football and more focused on academics, careers, and résumé building. Saturday for many means the library rather than DKR.

The traditional Texas college experience in Austin has changed, which is what OP was addressing. Thats fine. Just don’t try and spin it otherwise.

No and that’s retarded, it’s fun to hate on Tex cuz they’re soy boy liberals but they care about football and have money. And for what it’s worth most teams in the country are only better than cal bc cal alum don’t breath football. If they ever decided to go all in on football they’d instantly be a title contender in this age of free agency. There’s 7 fbs teams with more elite(net worth>30 mil) alumni than cal.
