December 6Dec 6 Irrespective of where Texas is landing this year, and assuming the CFP refuses to expand to 16 and continues to force DEI teams into shit football game matchups (I mean FBS create your own playoff FFS), why not at least consider an NIT setup for football? Makes all the now relegated bowl games more relevant: hosting real teams, so more money there and more payouts for all involved. Texas, USC, Vandy, Michigan, Miami/ND and a handful of wannabes getting their shot would make for some good football over a single bowl game that doesn’t really make a shit. Hell, maybe even the first four out from the CFP drop into the consolation field of 12-16 Is that so damn crazy? Basketball does it. Then again they don’t have bowls.
December 6Dec 6 Author Probably breaks down when everyone sits out for the NFL. Just like our upcoming bowl game. Edited December 6Dec 6 by Bert Orange

December 6Dec 6 Who is sitting out our bowl game? Arch, Jaggy, Taaffe, Simmons? Other than Ant Hill nobody should be sitting out unless the coaches ask them to.
December 6Dec 6 Author Wasn’t speaking precisely to Texas. We don’t have the same number of senior starters bound for the NFL. More a general comment about folks sitting out meaningless bowl games.

December 6Dec 6 Extra practices, that makes some sense. The other and bigger problem is that these are not fully grown men yet and the longer you make the season the worse off 99.9 percent of the student athletes are who are going pro in something other than football
December 6Dec 6 I’m not convinced Arch sitsI was joking about my list. Can't think of anyone that sits besides Hill.
December 6Dec 6 The fuck has happened to Texas football fans? Wanting to drop marquee games, groveling for schools like Vandy to lose to improve CFP chances and now a goddamn NIT setup… JFC!

It’s meaningless. Use it to play backups and treat it like a nfl preseason game. Play our starters maybe a quarter
