I think that’s a reasonable expectation.Originally posted by Heath View Post
In the Auburn, Florida, Texas A&M tier of vying for 5th best in conference.
Literally, every Longhorn fan I know hates the SEC.
And I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that winning a NC will be a little harder for everybody with this merger.
It’s weird Texas would do this to it’s fanbase.
But welcome anyway.
Gonna be awesome when Auburn comes to Austin.
I wish Auburn had done more recently in hopes of keeping some tradition.
(Iron bowl and Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry).
But we’ve been so non-competitive, you can’t really argue for demanding those remain.
It’ll be interesting to see how little Nicky divides this whole enchilada into pods that suit his interests.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. ESPN is being accused of behind the scenes skullduggery. (imagine that!) There's more than a hint of desperation from Bowlsby here from the helm of his sinking ship but that doesnt mean what he's saying could not be true.
Bob Bowlsby, the league’s commissioner, sent a cease-and-desist letter to the TV network on Wednesday that accused the company of taking “certain actions that are intended to not only harm the Big 12 Conference but to result in financial benefit for ESPN.”
Should the Longhorns and Sooners try to exit the Big 12 early, they could owe the conference as much as $80 million a piece in exit fees. If the Big 12’s remaining eight schools stick together, they will no doubt try to collect as much money as possible from their departing rivals. But if those teams leave for other conferences themselves and the Big 12 dissolves, some schools could save a lot of money.
It has been speculated that ESPN could also save considerable cash, upwards of $1 billion, if the Big 12 quickly dissolves and it no longer has to honor its TV contract with the league.
Bowlsby later told the Dallas Morning News that ESPN has conspired with at least one other conference and as many as half of the Big 12’s remaining schools about expansion plans that could harm the league.
“There were incentives discussed for that conference to go and take those members,” Bowlsby told the newspaper. “So that’s as clear a tortuous interference with our business as you can possibly have,” Bowlsby also said to the Morning News. “I’m absolutely certain it has occurred. I have every belief that they were similarly involved in the UT and OU move to the SEC.”

What cracks me up is your goofy posts and the fact that noone responds to you because 80% have you blocked. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]Originally posted by Chase This! View Post
The funny thing about all this is Aggy being all mad and trying to block it.
Put me in the meh group. It makes no difference to me. I actually would have preferred the Big 12 add teams but there just wasn't any of value available.
