Not so fast. They're probably just using this as a bargaining chip to get a few more dollars from the Big12. -Helobius, probably.

And Baylor just won basketball.  That doesn't have much to do with ability to draw money.

I didn't include Baylor when discussing who we "subsidize" because at least they have 3 basketball titles in the past 10 years (2 WBB, 1 MBB).  

In the totality of the program,  the 3 you mentioned are all better than Tech.  Baylor is better than Tech.  Tech is only beaten by KSU in terms of being a Big 12 nonfactor. 

But it’s not tuesday yet

Is that @immamac or the guy from Real Genius who won the RV by rigging the sweepstakes?

Uncle Rico?

Counterpoint, I'd rather subsidize Tech, OSU, and ISU than Miss St, S Carolina, and Vanderbilt.

That’s not a counterpoint at all. The SEC is well balanced with plenty of large earners. The conference actually brings value to Texas. It’s not just UT and OU carrying everyone else. 

So the unequal revenue share play didn't work. Sorry, Bowlsby.

Counter to your counter. Mississippi State built and packed this SOB out on their way to their title. It is nearly as big as Baylor's toilet seat football stadium.

So the that’s not fair play didn't work. Sorry, aggy.

lulz so crooked politicians are why we have to be in a conference with Lubbock and rapist baptists? 

Now the politicians are still crooked but also totally inept so they cant do shit

AHAHHAHAHAHHA

We have more information at our  finger tips....  

Back then if we had the dynamic we have now, I'm not so sure the threat of withholding state funds would have swayed as many people as it did back then.   Ultimately it might have carried the day.  But I'm certain a lot of back and forth would have occurred regarding exactly where it's stated in statue a single member of the executive or legislative branch can unilaterally withhold state funds due to a collective temper  tantrum for being excluded or they felt like they've been cheated for some reason.  Even political Goliaths like Bullock would have felt the incoming from the other side.

So tomorrow is the SEC invite, I guess.

How about we subsidize our students?

We already subsidize 7 universities and 8 health institutions with our “large endowment” (understatement of the year).  If Tech/Houston wants in on that money, put forth a bill to merge their systems with UT.  But they won’t because reasons…

Seriously adding schools in the panhandle with a medical center in El Paso plus finally getting a real University in Houston would be great for this state.

The ratio of earners to freeloaders is better for sure.

I would assume MSU, but I know it wasn't Texas

The University of Florida's brand new baseball stadium (which I know they paid for):

I think you're misunderstanding the dynamic here.  The SEC is not "run" by one school in particular.  It seems to me to be much more of a collaborative effort.  I much prefer a situation like the SEC where Texas gets to be an adult, work alongside its peers, and make decisions as to what is best with other adults in the room - rather than Texas having to be one of a pair of adults and babysit a bunch of children.  That would be the situation we are presently leaving, by the way.

Eh....its run by Bama.

Your mother just informed while I was having a postcoital smoke.

We should just provide that tape when the media asks why we are leaving the conference.

Smoking’s bad for you. You should know better.

Yup

Have only been to OOC games at Texas ever sense. If I wanted to pay money to see rigged garbage I'd go to a WWE fight or something.

The Rig 12 officials are always shit to us and that was just the exclamation point. 

Of course Scipio Tex wrote the best piece about it

Does paying the buyout if we leave early count as honoring the existing grant of rights agreements?

in Legalese, I don't think so. I'm not familiar with contractual language regardless but I think that would be what we call "opting out with penalty."

AAS is full of shit. Water is wet. 

This sounds like the Shaka Smart strategy -- honor the contract until the members of the contract leave of their own accord so that no penalties need to be paid. No way the B12 survives until 2024, so why not "play nice" until the thing implodes and you can walk away without financial consequence?
