I'll be honest I think its a dick move, and it sucks to see everyone scramble.

I'll be honest I think its a dick move, and it sucks to see everyone scramble. I think it was needed. Texas/OU knew Big12 wasn’t taken seriously. A couple of playoff appearances and get blown out. Texas tried to be the big dog with LHN and learned that was a failure. Texas has got to be tired of the Alamo Bowl. I think Texas has seen A&M improve greatly in the SEC. This move also lets A&M know they are a mediocre team in the SEC, really with no voice. Most teams will be fine. Some will definitely suffer. If we go to 4 power conferences and have a 12 team playoff. Big could send 2, pac could send 2, ACC could send 2. SEC could possibly send 4 to 6.

Aggies are that guy that tells his friend to hold him back, while he tries to act like a tough guy....... then his friend lets him go. Let's play football, and stop all this foolishness. At least they actually went to school at A&M. Ohhhhh the sand aggies....... Yeah crazy. I also received a degree from the school I root for. Wait. Did SA hunter not go to UT?

You just described yourself SA, very well I might add. T-shirt fans always crack me up.

He read about it once though. It's what the low self esteemed usually gravitate to.....something successful, or at least UT was in the past.

I wish they would get the old band back together, and have UT, a&m, Arkansas, and OU in a pod. That being said,, I would also suspect that ticket prices will go up.

Wait. Did SA hunter not go to UT? Nope. I have no problem with any person being a fan even if they didn’t go to the school. But i do have a problem with cockiness and dogging other schools from a t-shirt fan.

I'm an Aggie and damn proud of it. I don't give a crap about sports, I actually hated A&M football while I was there because Manziel was there, but I went for academics. It cracks me up when Tshirt fans are so wrapped up in football or some sport they dog an entire school and the alumni. A&M may not be the best football team but they have some of the best academic programs in the USA and world so running your mouth about Aggies in general when you didn't even go to the school you are obsessed with is pretty darn silly.

Congratulations your parents must be proud...... UT is pretty good academically, just saying.

School payouts per conference. These are rough estimates. But what I found.
Big10. About 50 million per team SEC. About 40 million per team. Big 12. About 35 million per team. PAC. About 30 million per team. ACC About 22 million per team. AAC. About 5 million per team.
That is a huge disparity. A couple of schools are really gonna get hit hard.
SEC teams are gonna wanna get to that 50 million number. I doubt anyone votes against it. If they do, they may be cut out next time.
Had a family get together tonight, caught up with nephew who goes to MIT. He thinks Big12 is trying to recruit two replacement teams. Houston or Memphis. They’re trying to keep the “big 12 brand”. I told him a couple will bolt. Iowa State and WV in my opinion.
My neice a Baylor alumn said she got a generic email saying they are still in negotiations. But we both feel they have nowhere to go.
