Love to see this. It's easy to forget how much time these kids spend concentrating on football from a very young age. Then it doesn't get any easier as a "student-athlete". Tack on injuries for JWhitt and it's easy to see him becoming disillusioned with the game. Glad they are being coached up and encouraged.

It may mean something else. Brennan sees the game from outside the box, and those lessons likely make things more fun/easier to succeed. Could be either or both.
Late Sat., 3rd and 6, for the 1st time recently, we spread 2 WR's left and 2 right with no TE's. IS drops 8 for an obvious pass setup. Short screen to Bijan for the 1st down. That's Marion. Hit them where they ain't.

Yes my understanding is both were reviewable. There didn't seem to be indisputable video evidence to overturn the rulings on the field. If the rulings on the field had been different the final result MAY have been different.

FOX Blocking Oklahoma-Texas Early Exit From Big 12: Report
ByBryan Clinton October 14, 2022
There have been rumors and speculation surrounding the timeline for Oklahoma and Texas’ departure from the Big 12 to the SEC.
We have heard everything from them joining the league in 2023, to definitely gone by 2024, and both athletic directors pledging to stay until 2025.
It appears that they might not have as much of a choice in the matter if FOX has anything to say about it. According to CBS Sports’ Dennis Dodd and Chip Patterson, the move isn’t likely to happen prior to 2025 due to FOX losing major inventory in Oklahoma and Texas, since it doesn’t have rights to the SEC brand.
“Though there was a belief that Texas and Oklahoma may have been attempting to exit the Big 12 one year early in 2024, sources told Dodd that Fox would likely have demanded a return to make its future programming whole, including a top-tier selection of games years into the future given the marquee programs would have left its airwaves early. That’s beyond what would have been a potentially massive early exit fee the programs would have needed to pay the Big 12 directly.“
This report coincides with a report from Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger that announced the Big 12 is planning to adopt a new scheduling model in 2023 and 2024 that features no divisions and protects rivalries like Oklahoma vs. Texas.
The Big 12 is expected to continue with nine conference games and a conference championship that includes the top two teams in the league.
The two-year format is set up for each team to play all others at least once. The Big 12’s best rivalries are expected to be played both in 2023 and 2024. Those matchups are not yet official, according to Dellenger, but are likely to include Oklahoma-Texas, Oklahoma State-Oklahoma, Kansas-Kansas State, TCU-Baylor, and West Virginia-Cincinnati, with the latter being a regional match-up and ties back to the old Big East.
The Big 12 is expected to then drop to 12 teams for the start of the 2025 football season, although there is speculation the two could be gone in 2024. However, no matter what it looks like both teams will be in the Big 12 in 2023, as the SEC has already released its football schedule and it does not include Oklahoma or Texas.
The two schools will owe the Big 12 $80 million each when they leave the league, and to leave a year earlier would cost them an extra $100 million.

I guess FOX was always going to be an issue. I just figured that TX and 0u SEC inventory was going to be more valuable then the BIG12 games lost, and they would be able to find some kind of win win type of early exit deal where everyone was happy. In the end it sounds like FOX wanted more then what the other parties were willing to give.
The good news is the BIG12 is a competitive football league. Even if it doesn't have the cache of the SEC it should make for some exciting football.
I haven't heard anything about the early BIG12 media rights negotiations, you have to wonder if FOX is also preventing that from moving forward.

Texas is willing to pay the $180 million or so to get out now. OU is the hangup. Their BMDs aren't so willing to pony up that much. We have to go together.

Jerry Jones would take a helicopter to see his grandson play, Paxton Alexander, UT WR.
I believe the move increases the size of the pie. If everyone was looking to maximize the amount of pie they ate a deal could have been reached.
The 180 million number isn't the number that matters, since both TX and 0u both owe the BIG12 80 million when they exit. So the real number is approximately 50 million per school per year.
For 0u and TX the deal could have been in that some of the money came from ESPN, some from the SEC that would have resulted in TX and 0u getting the same or more then if they stayed in the BIG12 for the early exit years( much like WV transition to the BIG12).
Thought blow u has been the hold up for almost a year now. We can bolt anytime. They can't.
