Thought the LHN contract is only through 2025? ESPN could just absorb those numbers into the SEC network numbers right? It’s not like LHN was a fox network. 

Lowell Galindo will need to find a new career after LHN goes bye bye

Ohhhhh this is delicious….

“You knew disruption was coming,” says one college administrator. “At the end of the day, it’s all going to be about money.”

The report stunned Bjork, he says.

In fact, as The Houston Chronicle’s story published at about 2:40 p.m. local time, Bjork was speaking to two reporters, shooting the you-know-what about everything in college athletics (oddly enough, much of the conversation centered on the long-running feud between the Aggies and Longhorns—they haven’t played since A&M left the Big 12 in 2012).

In the middle of the conversation, Bjork’s phone buzzed and up flashed the caller ID: It was school president Katherine Banks.

“I’ve got to take this,” Bjork said, “it’s the boss.”

Banks, his own president, informed Bjork of the story in a 10-minute phone call that unfolded just before his head football coach, Jimbo Fisher, took the main stage for his appearance at SEC media days. 

Minutes later, the AD stepped into a dimly lit hallway here, smiled and delivered an unmistakable message to a group of reporters, jump starting one of the more bizarre days to ever transpire at this event.

And we all know what Bjork said right after that…wow…

We do know how to piss in their wheaties

The Texas Legislature is deadlocked and impotent in a different pissing contest right now, as the Texas House of Representatives lacks a quorum to conduct business, and this stalemate/Mexican-standoff may last for MONTHS, so the Legislature can do nothing but twiddle their thumbs until that is resolved -- the *perfect* time to do this and have it DONE before the Legislature could possibly punish Texas and take away the PUF.  

How's that going to look when this UT/Mobilhoma to SEC deal was done months ago and the Legislature decides to retroactively feel repressed anger enough over this to yank the PUF rug out from under The University? I don't see it; the political cycles will have turned many times since the contracts were signed for any repercussions for Texas. 

Abbott would veto any PUF funding bill aggy/tech and other could send up even if they did.  Also aggy has been asking for a 50/50 split for decades and you think they’ll throw away all the arguments they been making for that money on athletics?

 

 

Yeah you’re probably right…

Considering that there's no real big dog in the SEC other than Saban, who will eventually retire, would Texas end up running the conference as the most valuable franchise by a factor of 2 or 3 compared to say Florida or Georgia?

Um... Saban didn't make Bama, chief.

i've gone thru all stages of grief in the past few hours. i hate the thought of having to play aggy again...but their tantrums today have made me decide it's acceptable lol

The funny part is how “Texas is desperate to flee” and Aggy is the only one who is desperate to keep them out.

I know.  they can't stop it but they could vote no if 1 or 2 others did as well.  face saving by the higher ups in front of the rectum crew that they didn't just lay down and take it from Big Brother.

how is looch going to pivot in the course of 24 hours to defend the reversal of policy at the ministry of information?

aggy will def. vote yes because it gets Bama out of their division 

You’re kidding, right?  

There’s no way those idoits vote “yes” out of pure spite. They hate “tee-yewww” more than they love themselves.

the Big 12 members that remain are in a bad spot and they are going to scorched earth if all of this is true and it may well not end up good for Texas and OU and ESPN....I would imagine the SEC will be drug in as well

The first realignment thread post was made on 3/29/12 on the old shag. How do you realignment nerds feel about going nine years and not calling this move. 

It was absolutely called, along with just about every other conference alignment permutation.

Of course aggy thinks this will never happen. They think they have the votes to stop it. Their big argument is that Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri and South Carolina would vote with them because they are trying to protect their home turf as well. What those dumbasses don’t understand is the opposite will happen. OU and Texas joining the SEC will actually take away the threat to those schools. 

Damn bros, that was pretty fucked up, I thought we had a pact? Well we still got your back if Louisville tries to join

Good call. I feel like he's formulating his thoughts

If I’m the other 8 schools in the Big 12…I’m making calls to pretty much all the other conferences. I’m calling on the other 8 schools in the Big 12 and maybe form an alliance with at least one. I wouldn’t wait for UT/OU and whatever happens with SEC or try some attempt to add schools to the Big 12. I’d try to make moves to find a home and take as much of my fate into my own hands. Again JMO. If I am a donor and ex-student I’m blowing up the phones of my university and AD. Im blowing up their email and Twitter. Again, that’s just me. 

I think it’s going to be tough for the “Other 8” conference members.  The PAC 12 and Big 10 do not have to add more members.  Some people seem to think there will be a scramble for the other conferences to expand.  The Big 10 is not a charity organization and it would be hard for it to justify financially adding KU or ISU or any other Big 12 school.  How is the Big 10’s media contract going to grow by adding any of these schools.  

I guess it is possible for the PAC 12 could benefit by expanding to new markets in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas or Iowa. But, it can’t be that great given that none except KU are flagship schools. It’s hard imagine that any combination of schools would expand the pie enough to benefit the other members of the PAC 12.  
 

I guess there is the option of replacing OU and UT to maintain the Big 12.  That conference would be lucky to get half the media payout the Big 12 currently gets.

I think it'll happen because a break away seems inevitable and to make it work an even 64 makes it easy on everyone. The most valuable properties will be added and the least will figure it out.

The real news here is that Mizzou's coach is named Eli Drinkwitz.  I doubt many people outside of Columbia know that.

I don't think this "gentleman's agreement" actually exists.  More blowhard LIES from little brother.

Besides, in order to have a "gentleman's agreement," the agreement must be entered into by gentlemen, and thus aggy will never qualify.

That or an LSUFreek gif. 

Best thing UT and OU can do right now politically is to piss off the rest of the Big 12 by asking for a much larger share of the pie and this time I bet the other schools will fold and acquiesce. 
 

Im a Tech alum. Its not 2010 or 1995. I say let it go and lets just get on with it.

This "gentlemen's agreement" is a myth.

FSU chose the ACC over the SEC when they were looking and UF wasn't going to stand in the way had they chose the SEC.
