the Aggies LEFT us... they can be gone, and stay gone. They took MO MONEY, and then blamed UT on the way out. SCREW THEM
BTW, they were offered a chance to be part of a “Texas” network. The original plan was to include all four Texas schools (Including A&M, Tech, and Baylor). They refused.
I hope we NEVER play them again. At least, not while they’re in the SEC.
I imagine the Big XII is eventually doomed. The previous ADs at Texas and Oklahoma said the two schools would not leave without the other. Oklahoma also stipulated they would insist Oklahoma State went along with any move.
I predict those three schools and one more (Texas Tech or Baylor, presumably) would join the Pac-12 and make it the Pac-16. That will cut the other six schools loose where a few may go to the Big 10, SEC or ACC and the rest dropping back into a lower conference.
The big problem is the Longhorn Network. Any conference that takes in Texas will insist Texas divide up the ESPN money and, so far, Texas has refused to budge. They can look to Notre Dame who also doesn’t share their tv revenue from NBC with anyone else.
Eventually, there will be four SuperConferences and their champions will become the four finalists so anyone not in the PAC, SEC, ACC or B10 will have no chance at the national championship. That realization will push Notre Dame to align more with the ACC and force Texas and Oklahoma (with Oklahoma State) to flee to a stronger conference.
