November 23, 20232 yr Popular Post I guess I’m fascinated by the game theory aspect of all this. In an Economics class, the prof said that the assumption most Economics is based on is “people make decisions in their own interest”. This conference realignment highlights flaws in that assumption- administrators that have a lot of power, but will only govern for a few years, make short term decisions that have negative long term implications. So, fans enjoy storming the field and giving shit to players. Coaches enjoy voting Texas down in a poll. ADs pressure a conference to limit promotion of the biggest brand. All decisions that have a near term benefit. Then, when Texas leaves (and it was hard- a lot of time to wait out the political situation, a lot of money), it hears, “you selfish asshole! And, hey- what about the tradition? Didn’t we have some good times?” All of these TV ratings highlight just how much free riding was going on. Edited November 23, 20232 yr by statsman

We don't care if we have your fucking endorsement. Just leave. LOL.

November 23, 20232 yr And, no mistake- if Paul Foster (by all accounts a good UT regent, but a big Baylor booster) were still on the BoR, we don’t get to go to the SEC. If Abbot were not governor, we don’t get to go. If there were any way for politicos from west Texas, FW, Waco to apply leverage to force Texas to stay in the Big XII, they would have. If there were any way that TT could come along, they would say “sign us up!” Without hesitation.

November 23, 20232 yr Popular Post This is interesting. I didn’t realize that some posters from other schools consider this thread to be like the embassy of some foreign country in the USA, where it is considered the sovereign territory of that foreign country and not American soil.

OU and Texas hung in and supported the left overs as long as they possibly could. While team after team bailed. All the hate after the decision did make it easier.
