I don’t care who is in our conference, division, pod etc. Gotta beat them all or it doesn’t matter. Cautiously optimistic that Jimbo can get the Aggies there, just ready to watch some CFB.
Easily the best thread on TBH.

However, let's be real here. With the kind of money that's being thrown around, politics are going to be involved to one extent or the other. The TX schools currently in the Big 12 not named UT are poised to be hurt big-time financially by this move. The Big 12 will either be downgraded to 2nd tier status (i.e. Group of 5) or eventually break apart altogether. This move obviously benefits UT, but it does nothing for any the other schools in TX outside of A&M who is already in the SEC. Top tier talent in TX not picked up by UT or A&M probably will go to power conference schools out of State.
These schools are earning something like $30MM annually being in the Big 12. For reference, UH is in the AAC (probably considered the best Group of 5 conference) and their payout is $7MM per year. So, these schools stand to loose $20MM + per year as part of their athletic department budget. I'd say that's a big deal and not just for football, but for all sports. That's just talking money, not even recruiting or perceived status. In addition to the significant downgraded budget, they will have to live with less bowl game access and almost no realistic shot at a National Championship (at least in football).
Heck, if it wasn't for politics, Tech and especially Baylor would not have even been part of the Big 12 to begin with. So I guess they were at least lucky enough to be part of it for the past 20 years.
I have no dog in this fight, but politicians getting involved is no surprise. I mean, they probably just want their cut too.

Tip of the iceberg, they’re coming after the PUF.
The Permanent University Fund (PUF) is one of our state’s most unique, important, and enduring competitive advantages. In 1876, the Texas Constitution set aside land in West Texas to support The University of Texas and Texas A&M systems of higher education. Today, that land – encompassing 2.1 million acres – is leased to oil and gas companies whose wells generate revenue that flows into the PUF. Land also is leased for grazing, wind farms and other revenue-generating activities.

lsu qb gos down with left arm.....LSU quarterback Myles Brennan is out for the foreseeable future with a left arm injury, the school announced on Monday afternoon. The redshirt junior was competing for the starting quarterback job with sophomore Max Johnson, but instead will have surgery on his arm on Tuesday, putting his 2021 season in serious doubt.

Texas Tech I could see going after a piece of the pie as a public school. Not sure the private schools have a case or even can.
