Conference Realignment Discussion

[TFloss32]

Sounds to me like Billy is trying his best to do a little damage control.  If they're "embracing" this, then why have an emergency BOR meeting on monday?

A&M AD already walking it all back, and admitting they were left out of the loop.

Now saying "we're ready."

That's an interesting desperation offer. I guess if league money was the only driver they could get as much money as they wanted from the BIG12.

I remember back in the 80s when there was talk of Texas and ou going to the $ec. I also remember hearing that when aggy went to the $ec, the $ec really wanted Texas but settled for aggy.

Geez yall are like ex stalkers

You turned your neighborhood into a dumpster fire

Then try to leave in the middle of the night

No idea how accurate this guy is, nor his sources. Just passing it along.

What happens to LHN does that go away? 

I wouldn’t lose a minute of sleep if it did.

I heard the LHN was going to continue but under a different broadcast partner. Roughly the same available viewership.

IT had an update this afternoon on where things stand...

- they feel Texas and OU will officially announce their intentions to leave the Big XII on Tuesday.

- most anyone they speak to feels 2021 will be the last season for both teams in the Big XII.

- from sources on the OU side of things, they're hearing the costs of the move for both schools "won't be terribly expensive."

I think Florida has their own network, or did.

If Texas and OU got on a call with other conference members and said, “We don’t plan on extending our Grant of Rights”, what difference does it make when Texas/OU began talking to the SEC?

I am fairly certain most of us recall the stunts Baylor pulled when A&M left. Of course, A&M was dishonest about leaving. They tucked their tail between their legs and ran off like a stray.

Texas/OU showed everyone why they are the class of the conference and announced, but there is no need to divulge every detail of every conversation.

Hook ‘em!
