Great point. Because the athletes, particularly football players are starting to get mad about the fact that a lot of schools are making promises about money and not getting any. Or it's something along the lines that you mentioned.
I am glad all athletes at UT are getting something. I wonder if there is any parity between sports, and gender on amounts received.
Texas men and women will play a double header December 18th with the men playing Stanford and women will play USC.

We’ll see Destiny Littleton on the court & coach Nneka Enemkpali on the bench in a bit of a Longhorn reunion
Shaylee already says she lives in Austin and is a "grad transfer at University of Texas, having two more years of eligibility left" (Man, I like the sound of that): https://app.opendorse.com/profile/shaylee-gonzales Here's a pic from this afternoon: shayleegonzales
Does anyone know if we are home team or visitors? Tickets are on presale today for the participating schools.
Good question if you find out let us know. I got lucky with my tickets in Vegas last season but with Baylor in the mix I’m not risking sitting in the middle of that obnoxious bunch.
I believe they said the double headers will be back to back so Texas men will play then the women will play right after. Baylor men and women will play once Texas is finished so it won’t be that long of a sit with those demon seeds.
That's a good call and Ticketmaster reflects this. But it looks like you have to have some kind of "offer code" to order the tix. https://www.ticketmaster.com/pac12-...allas-texas-12-18-2022/event/0C005CFBD1965ACC

Tough blow for (22/23 opponent) UCONN as Paige Bueckers tore her ACL in a pick up game and is out for the season.
Not Texas related but big & horrible news! I hate this for Paige and since Texas plays UConn I want to play them at their best. Sucks for UConn and wish a speedy recovery for Paige.
UCONN will still be very good. They were good without her last year. She certainly wasn’t all the way back during the tournament but still was their best player. Never like seeing a player deal with these devastating injuries. Hope she comes back stronger next season and we get to play her and UCONN at full strength.
There’s certainly no love lost for us when we deal with injuries but I was very sad to hear this. UCONN being good brings more exposure to the women’s game, and I was very excited to see how we would respond facing the likely #1 team on the road.
They weren't the same team without her; how could they be? I recall that ugly loss at Georgia Tech. Obviously, they got better as they learned to play without her, and other players were forced to step up and learn their new roles. Compared to last season, they will have a lot more time now to plan their offense without her. She's a huge loss no doubt; such a great shooter. She's not someone who can be replaced by one player. UConn will be a much stronger inside team this season, IMO. But, not having Paige on the court certainly allows the opponents to focus more on other players defensively.
The point guard from Duncanville….Flores…..committed to TCU today. Nice player. Number 80 in Hoopgulz 2023
