  1. That's 100% correct.
  2. https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/857322-family-feud-who-is-to-blame-for-the-collapse-of-the-big-12.amp.html
  3. This info was pulled directly from a 2011 article....
  4. The problem is, again, penis envy by the pip squeaks that seem to just exist to try and take down big bad Texas (aggy, Tech, Baylor, etc) Leadership = Texas made moves that were consistent and aligned with the mission of bettering itself and by proxy the conference. But again, the constant in fighting by envious peer universities to "keep Texas in check" It's like the little brothers always asking "stick around and save us, but we're going to meddle in your ability to make money which would make us more money" here's a prime example. Texas: trying to rally everyone and be the leader of not only the Big 12 but college football by being the first conference to have its own network. But here's the result of the limp dicks stepping on their own nuts because they just gotta stick it to the Longhorns Well, then why did they, along with 10 other Big 12 teams (minus Texas), vote against a joint Big 12 TV network in 2006-2007? I'm sure Texas leadership grew tired of being hamstrung by other universities that seemed to have the mission of "screw Texas" rather than working with UT to better the conference. Aggy: A&M's issues with the Longhorn Network could only be taken seriously if it hadn't turned down an offer from DeLoss Dodds to be a part of the network at the time of its inception. At the time, A&M's president Bill Byrne didn't see the venture as profitable. When he realized the project was picking up steam, he wanted on board, but Dodds thumbed his nose at him instead, stating they were already too far along in production. Bad business forced A&M's move, not unfairness. Nebraska: Nebraska was perfectly content with the power structure of the Big 12 when it sat in the driver's seat. Do you suppose a 1-9 record against a certain Texas team, and a tumultuous downfall from power, caused a bit of anxiety in Lincoln? I thought so, too. Nebraska was also adamantly opposed to the creation of the Longhorn Network. Well, then why did they, along with 10 other Big 12 teams (minus Texas), vote against a joint Big 12 TV network in 2006-2007? Nebraska and the others didn't want to put the necessary resources is in to create such a network, so Texas did it by itself. If Tom Osborne's arrogance hadn't gotten the best of him and his program, the Big 12 would still be standing on two legs. This is from Nebraska leadership in 2007: On 810 today, both chancellor Perlman and AD Weiser noted, idly, the possibility of schools leaving the conference. Perlman noted that Nebraska wouldn't rule out the possibility of leaving the Big 12 (presumably to go to the Big 10) if forced to share revenue.
  5. Agreed. That guy is a gaping pu$$y.
  6. Which in my opinion is he grew up in it. Born and raised in Kansas and a graduate of Kansas St. He's well versed in all things Big 8 and Nebraska. As much shit as Texas gets, Nebraska abused TF out of the Big 8 and everyone just went along with it.
  7. Too many "ifs" in there. The Big 12 was doomed from the beginning. We're fundamentally very different. People from Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri have this weird chip on their shoulder about being overlooked (I get it, the Coastal elites mentioning flyover country is annoying AF) I know they'll never admit it but Nebraska was really the Benedict Arnold of the Big 12 from the beginning. 1. They had the attitude "we saved the SWC schools and let them going our conference". This was not the case, the Big 12 was a brand new conference. 2. Big Red was rolling in the 90's while Oklahoma and Texas were wandering the desert. Nebraska knew they needed to keep this advantage and pushed unequal revenue sharing hard. 3. Texas has always had the mission of being a world class University with it sights set in the UC System and the ivy's. Going back to what I referenced earlier about that flyover state attitude, Nebraska's identity and pride is tied to football. Texas helped raise the academic profile of the entire conference by getting rid of Prop 48 players but this severely pissed of Nebraska and Tom Osborne. 4. The lower level schools and the penis envy created an atmosphere of toxic resentment from all parties involved. Voting blocks, coaches poll votes, negative recruiting, etc. It showed Texas they need to get TF away from all the little brothers who only care about "ruining Texas" TLDR: Nebraska and their fragile ego fractured the conference from the get go.
  8. Always Bud Light, that shit sucks.
  9. While we're at it, extra "ball, pass, oskie" drills the week before Tech in 2008 would be great.
  10. Pac fans are def turning their nose up in regard to joining the Big 12. From what I've read on Utah and ASU's board is to add Boise and SDSU lol.
  11. Why can't y'all just admit that there's a shitty college football culture west of Lubbock. The fans of the Pac-12 don't care about college football as much as other P5 conferences which is precisely why the one school that actually does really give a shit is leaving. But to dissect your point, we should compare what it looks like when South Carolina plays the Citadel. Or here's a fucking thought, maybe don't schedule Southern bleeping Utah.......
  12. Yes, exactly. However I know that some schools just got a lucky free ride (Vanderbilt, Purdue, etc)
  13. Lottery winners. Also, most on the list weren't stupid enough to fight against their providers.
  14. Oh no no no, this is precisely about schools like ASU. You see, schools like that don't have the fortitude or grit to go all in and go after that national title and be behind their football 100%. They want to look around and look up to big brother and say "hey, go be great so we can tag along. But, also we're going to slander you, beg you, cheat you, and make the game against you the biggest on our schedule every year. But you're totally fucked up if you cut us off because we're too half ass committed to our own program to establish our own identity other than being an underdog and trying to ruin your season. Get that TV money though big bro, we need it!" That applies to about 60 programs Tech, TCU, Baylor, most of the Pac 12. Everyone in the ACC not named Florida State or Clemson. The fans (you said so yourself), the media, the schools are tired of the nobodies hanging on. They want to see big games on big stages. The pip squeaks free ride is over. And the gall they have to be pissed is a GD joke. AZ State has been in the Pac 12 for 44 years!!!!! They've had 44 years to get it together and simply chose not to. Again, it's on you (the fans, alumni, boosters). Stop blaming the schools that are looking out for their best interest when that's exactly what the pip squeaks are trying to do by begging to stay relevant and acting like their cause is somehow more noble. You had your chance, you blew it.
  15. West Virginia is playing Pitt this year. Maybe Kansas would play Missouri annually if they hadn't acted like such a dick head on the way out the door. Texas played Oklahoma like 80+ times being in different conferences.
  16. No, no you don't. Y'all keep saying this, yet your own bleeping fanbase never shows up. Yet, .500% Texas comes to town Lubbock: "night game, everyone wear black, flip off Texas fans and scream raider power in their face, start a fuck Texas chant." But yes, tell us more how your fan base cares so much about playing Arizona State.
  17. You're missing the point, the road is about to get a lot harder. The days of undefeated teams in college football is over. Again, ASU has a huge enrollment and an endowment bigger than LSU, Auburn, and Ole Miss. Yet your fans don't care about your football program. Why?
  18. The numbers and stats just don't agree with what you're saying. When bluebloods or ranked teams play, the ratings flow in. Clemson's fanbase just picked up tons of new fans. And I can tell you for damn sure there were hardly any Alabama A's on the back windows of trucks pre 2010 in Texas like there are now. Nobody gives a rip about Sun Devils football, not even their own fans..... https://youtu.be/Oz0kApIqXio Where y'all at? This is the GD season opener after the covid year wtf......
  19. Arizona St will most likely be part of the "club" lucky for you your school is in the 10th largest metro area in the US. In another thread it showed how the top 16 schools make up over 50% of the market in fan following. So cutting out the dead weight doesn't represent 2/3 of the market. More like 1/3. All of these schools should really take a long hard look in the mirror. They have themselves and their alumni to blame (ASU included) ASU has a gigantic student population and some pretty solid local talent (thank you for Bijan) and had failed mightily to capitalize on that since that Jake Plummer 96 Rose Bowl. The alumni and students didn't/ don't have the passion and buy in to want to be a football power. The crazy thing is ASU is a sleeping giant type of school. Problem is, they just never woke up.
  20. Because you're basically firing your salesmen that have half the accounts your top tier guys have yet pay them the same salary. You're now cutting out the overhead and giving your top guys a raise.
  21. Reading is fundamental, it says Texas and OKLAHOMA...... They have a trophy and name for a game they've won 16% of the games in. Lol this was just posted yesterday... https://twitter.com/CowboyFB/status/1542281767125716992?t=FnzHHN8HC6fU0JYM7qqN1A&s=19 And it's one thing to want to beat a rival. It's another to make it the premise of your existence.
  22. Has nothing to do with what you said. I'm ready for all of this to be settled. Whatever happens to us happens. College football is fucked regardless, but congrats on the money I guess? You say congrats on the money as your school holds Texas and Oklahoma hostage for $160 million as if the two haven't propped up Oklahoma A&M with money enough as it is.
  23. It's essentially going back to that. Teams are going to be aligned with their regional partners within the conference. The only people this won't apply to is the Big 12 and even then it'll still be mostly familiar faces. For Texas there are no 3 schools that exist that have more history with the Horns than Oklahoma, Arkansas, and aggy.
  24. Hard to tell considering the t-shirts made, Instagram rally cries, white out/black out games Texas seems to play so often on the road.
  25. Anyone who thinks Ohio is a peer to the state of Texas should go visit Columbus followed by a wonderful trip to Cleveland lol.
