    I am shocked! Not the subject matter, but that Zwerneman knows there is a Big XII and an SEC.

    Lat year's BS combined with this, were it to happen, would likely end my support and desire to watch UT sports.

    Only good part would be that the SEC could force providers to accept the LHN and put it Comcast, et al

    Why would OU want to give up winning the conference every single year?

    Not just that - trade for losing the division every year to Alabama. Or beg for SEC East.

    If it happened, Alabama & Auburn to the east; Texas & OU in the West.

    Still not sure OU can move without oSu, but still trying to find out when and how the new OU president learns how to do things.

    I'd hope more Big 12 teams go and make it a 20 team SEC or heck, 24 team conference.

    I'm Old School. I know I'll get crucified on this board, but UT to the SEC would be tremendous! Also, UT should play A&M every Thanksgiving Day. The way it was meant to be.

    I was not expecting 'I'm Old School' and 'UT to the SEC would be tremendous!' to go together. Also, you know aggy would complain that little brother followed them to SEC and LSU is their true Thanksgiving day rival...

    I don't like it.

    Both us, and OU, are well positioned with the status quo.

    If the status quo includes 100+ more years of home games against Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas State, then sign me up for the SEC right now! Also, since when does anyone care what the Aggies think? To Hell With Them!

    Kind of humorous that Sankey said in his press conference that he and Bowelsby have been in discussions over the Covid situation the last several weeks and that Texas & OU are in his other ear?

    Texas puts in a million, OU puts in a million, oSu puts in a million and go get Oliver Luck to be Big XII commissioner, then allocate the costs to other members. Turn Oliver loose to do what's best for members, including exploring new "NAME" members not city schools. Right now, Clemson, FSU, GT, USC are really unhappy with there present situation; could they be moved? Don't know until an intelligent representative sits down with each for an open discussion.

    I’m not a fan of this move but does this mean we will play 5 meaningful good games and 4 FCS teams?

    I tend not to believe it. I just don’t see the end game, the reasoning, for Texas. And certainly academically and ethically it would appear to be a step backward. But who knows. I just don’t like the idea.

    Playing pig and gaggy annually again does not cause any enthusiasm on my part.

    More so than Kentucky, South Carolina, Vandy, Miss Cow College, and certainly having to go to Auburn (it's Clemson without the lake) with nowhere to stay and nowhere to eat.

    I wouldn’t want us to have to play aggy and miss cow college.

    These fools should first be figuring out how to win the Big 12 before we go into a potentially harder situation. If we win the Big 12 we are pretty much lock for the final four tourney.
    I guess it’s part of our culture to focus on money and business than winning.
