Texas has ground to stand on, they have the cards in their hand. Giving up the LHN will be to exit the Big 12.

They will HAVE to give up the network to exit the Big 12(unless they go independent)

Looks like a BU tennis player is now being accused of sexual assault?

Please tell me your joking...

This is really getting out of hand. Baylor athletics is turning into a gang of thugs. The cover-ups and turning a blind eye is ridiculous. Being a Christian school the higher ups better stop the bleeding quick to save face and what little reputation they still have.

Indy is highly unlikely. Like I said, they have the cards to lay on the table for an exit, it's the LHN.

Certainly it has to be same sex assault as a tennis player [emoji12][emoji23]

Wasn't there talk a few years ago of Texas going to the PAC?

Not necessary. They could give up the LHN to turn into the ACCN, but they could keep the branding and in-state LHN part of it.

He's not an Aggie, he's an employee of the Athletic Department. It's not like he cheated on his wife with another mans wife and broke his 5 core values pledge.....errrrr uh allegedly.

And who's tater?

Neither is anyone on this forum. Aggie is a nickname for the sports teams.

The degree on my wall says otherwise.

This perfectly illustrates the difference between those that cheer as a fan of a sports team and those that are vested as students or alumni of their respective schools.

I would say there's about 0% chance that Texas moves to the ACC. It would be funny to see them take their 'ball and go home' if that was the case though. Like I said, it will be interesting to see what happens with all of the posturing.

I could see them moving to the PAC possibly, but not the ACC.

I'm completely indifferent on the LHN. I think it's great for Texas and a great 'tool' for them. I also feel there is a lot of unnecessary emphasis on it. If Texas was 10-2(or better) they would make that money in donations without even blinking. Not talking about you guys on here, but I've also heard from others how the network is going to 'turn around the program' and things of this nature. Is this a common theme among longhorn fans or just a few with limited info/insight?

Oh snap!

No it doesn't.

It clearly seperates normal people and fans from the cult in that cesspool region of Texas.

It does not say the word Aggie on your degree.

Not sure how a network could turn a program, but the problem with LHN is people continually underestimate its value. It's not $15 million a year. It's much more than that.

With no new subscribers, the initial investment projects to be paid off in year 8. After that UT profit shares and those estimates are said to be as high as $40 million annually including the 15 they get now.

I don't think cable will survive the length of the contract and I believe UT will scuttle the LHN, but it's more money than will be made up in regular donations.
