I posted a year ago that we would be added to the big 12 this summer. Even if we get added the info I had was wrong. After I posted, Texas made their power move by purchasing land in Houston in order to start a new ut Houston campus. It was/is a shady business deal (illegal according to many) that is being used as a negotiation tactic for Houston's admittance into the big 12. They want UH to lay down and let them build their campus minutes away from ours. The fact that none of these national writers knew what was coming yesterday should make it clear that they don't know anything about what the big 12 wants. The fact that none of these national writers are including the influence of this ut Houston controversy should make it clear we aren't going to get an honest realignment discussion from them.
Idk if that thought process will prevail but some people on the internet make it seem like everyone at ut hates Houston but the truth is that there's a split amongst themselves (see Red McCombs recent comments). This decision will have long lasting consequences for current big 12 schools. Texas was the main school that tanked the swc and recently Kansas St's president at the time confirmed it publicly. Texas drove off aggy, Nebraska, mizzou, Colorado and put the big 12 in the position they're in today. The final nail in the coffin for big 12 schools not named Texas/Oklahoma would be letting another p5 conference into southeast Texas.
That said they've proven repeatedly that they're a myopic and insecure group of presidents and athletic directors. Until now I've never heard of a conference that had members openly admit that they're scared to compete with a certain school on a level playing field (btw big 12 fans have denied this forever). I'm not surprised though. As far as I know Houston is the only school in the country that had to endure a 5 year waiting period to join a conference (swc) so all of the other schools could have enough time to recruit more black athletes to compete with the new school.
Tidbits like that is why I encourage black fans to take the time to REALLY learn your school's history because your alumni "friends" have no problem keeping you ignorant about their racist history.
I'm listening to 1 of the Austin Sports Radio stations (104.9 the Horn) right now. Chip Brown is saying this is 1 of the reasons that the Big 12 decided to expand. Saying they don't want to allow another major conference into the state of Texas.

Texas really does think it's all about them, huh???
If they break up the big12 and have to go at it alone.......

That's why I have a hard time seeing them jump to another conference. To steal a line I saw, you can't behave like a king when you're in someone else's castle. Texas can go to any conference they want but they won't be THE alpha dog like they have been for their entire existence. Ohio St and Michigan aren't gonna bend for Texas like the big 12 schools do. Neither will the cali schools in the pac or the Carolina schools in the acc. After this week's news there will be a sec network, b1g network, pac 12 network, acc network, and ...........longhorn network
Don't get me wrong I respect their gangsta but they're greedy af. It's comical how they treat the other schools in their conference. Sad thing is we'd do a lot to be one of those schools.
Tom Herman will go to the first one of these three jobs:
one of these three should open before the ohio state job
- lsu
- TX A&M

I'd swap out Oklahoma for aggy on your list. Texas and Ohio St are a tier above according to "in house" rumors. Aggy is behind Alabama, lsu, and Auburn in their own division. Herman is also good friends with Sumlin who is owed a ton of money. If he gets fired this year the fallout could get messy between aggy and Sumlin/his agent. To make things messier, Sumlin's agent also reps Herman.
I hate that overrated pump faking ass faggit. Due has had every job allegedly offered to him, if he was so great he wouldn't have got ran out of tampa and his bytch ass would've taken one of those jobs offered to him.
Would be similar to Gus at Auburn imo. That shyt is hard especially with Saban running through everyone yearlyHerman in LSU would be
Disagree he know how to use a QB that Memphis game sold me on him watching him whoop a rank team with a backup QB and he won a ship with a 3rd string come on breh
Yeah, he can coach but he's not running that gauntlet. Gus was/is just as good as Herman as OC & HC.
But herman get ah team like miles had with obj and them boys it would be a wrap
Thats no guarantee breh. Houston lost to bum ass Uconn. OSU lost to Mich St. shyt happens.
Would the offense be much better? Hell yeah. Would they be as dominant as Bama? Not likely
