Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
This. My kids would ask me what happened to a player after he graduated from Texas and I'd tell them he'd been sent to live on a big farm in the country where he could run around outside all day long and do fun football-things.

Should Notre Dame get in ahead of Miami? I know there is a perpetual hard-on to include the Irish in just about everything, but that seems to be a harder sell than Texas being "in."

Preseason I had the Longhorns with a 21.61%* chance of finishing 10-2 overall. To hit 10-2 from this point forward, they must win out (3-0). Under the new, tougher assumptions (A&M stronger, Arkansas weaker), that win-out probability is down to 18.7 %, a drop of 2.91 percentage points (down roughly 13% from preseason, reflecting A&M’s being better than expected and Arkansas’s significant downgrade). August 13, 2025 Today Outcome Probability Outcome Probability 12-0 1.67% *10-2 18.70% 11-1 9.48% < 9 wins 81.30% *10-2 21.61% < 9 wins 67.24% Per Georgia, I originally had Texas' win probability in Athens at 40%, but if you want to be more optimistic every +5% bump in the Texas win probability at Georgia adds roughly 0.05 expected wins and +2% to Texas’s chance of finishing the season 3-0 (10-2). Moving Georgia from 40% to 55% boost Texas’s chance of running the table by 40% (18.7% to 26.3%), and more than reclaims what the Longhorns lost when I upgraded A&M's chances somewhat.- Hugh Freeze Auburn Football

The one chance is to tie this up in the federal courts.* I recently drafted a letter to the Texas Bar Journal citing the First Amendment violations inherent in the Compact’s compelled silence and viewpoint discrimination disguised as “institutional neutrality.” Plain and simple: compelled neutrality is not constitutional neutrality. The Compact fails at several turns. Here are a few takeaways. Agency for Int’l Dev. v. Alliance for Open Society Int’l, Inc. (2013), the Supreme Court struck down a federal condition that required recipients of HIV/AIDS funds to affirmatively oppose prostitution—even in privately funded speech. The Court held that compelled speech outside the funded program’s scope violated the First Amendment. Similarly, the Compact’s viewpoint restraints would apply across an institution’s entire governance structure, chilling academic speech well beyond federally funded activities. In NFIB v. Sebelius (2012), Chief Justice Roberts, albeit in more rationale times, drew a red line around such federal coercion: when financial pressure becomes so severe that states have “no real option but to acquiesce,” the condition is unconstitutional. The Compact’s penalty structure—unprecedented DOJ-led enforcement, a one-year clawback of federal funds, and donor-triggered refunds — goes far beyond compliance and ventures into compulsion. Justice Roberts compared such Spending Clause overreach to a “gun to the head.” The Compact is not “relatively mild encouragement.” It’s financial extortion. Additionally, only Congress (not the President) may condition federal funds, and even Congress may not do so with unconstitutional or coercive terms. *What I have not explored - yet - is standing. Who or what organization, outside of the State of Texas or the Board of Regents (complicit twats), has standing to challenge the constitutionality of the Compact. .- 2025 Tailgate Thread - Let's Party

It will be interesting to see whether non-Compact graduate programs adopt "content-neutral," "skills-first" gateways - facially school-agnostic that they could argue are educationally justified - to intentionally screen applicants from universities that sign the Compact. Applied uniformly and tied to bona fide predictors of student success, that would look less like retaliation and more like quality control - though it’s still a First Amendment and antitrust mine field, for now. Over time, the separation will take care of itself: mandated cuts, shrinking instructional and research budgets, and faculty flight will constrict the talent pipeline and nudge talented undergrads elsewhere. Eventually, applicants from Compact campuses increasingly won’t clear neutral readiness thresholds - not because anyone flagged their alma mater, but because the skills evidence won't be there. - Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
