Absolutely stunning that a Texas institution is ignoring all the facts and data.
They have to ignore all of the facts and data because of the governor. And because of realignment Rule #1.

The Big 12 is such a clown show.
Do really need to have a meeting on the definition of a "commuter school?" It means a school where the lion share of students don't spend time on campus other than going to class. If you live in an off campus area that has been housing students since the Johnson administration you can safely consider that to be campus housing for the purposes of CR discussion.
I didn't think the Gov. of Texas had all that much power.They have to ignore all of the facts and data because of the governor. And because of realignment Rule #1.

It really is. The big 10, ACC, pac 12 marvel in comparison to the dysfunction the big 12 has shown to the public that it's in. That being said.....UCONNBIG12
"Texas doesn't care about/want to look at data" pretty much sums up this entire process. Texas wants what Texas wants. They could care less about anyone else.
Why not? They seem OK with ND which basically has its cake and gets to eat all of it without sharing.I wonder what the Texas threat is right now. We going to leave and take our network to the ACC? Do the teams in the ACC want that really?
As part of an agreement to join the league?? And is DeMauro not considered premium top shelf? He is a reporter, even if he went to BCU.
This is all because UConn moved the Holy Cross game in 2017 to 8/31 instead of the previously scheduled 9/9. There was no game scheduled for the 31st and to open the season w/ a bye or conference game would not be optimum. UConn is @ UVA on 9/16.
As far as Texas @ Yankee Stadium - not going to see a game scheduled @ Yankee Stadium in September.
Party pooper.

You get the feeling Tim F and Dimauro conspired to fk with the Boneyard?
Sept 9th Texas has a game with UCF and BB season hasn't started.
I don't see why people are assuming that the game would be played on the same day that the Holy Cross game was cancelled.
I'm not - The game shift is what sparked the convo based on the timelines - I'm only speculating on the Yankee Stadium/MSG piece. Basketball doesn't roll until November and football has Missouri and BC home games to work around. Logistically doesn't make sense.
IMO Texas actually prefers a weak Big12. It allows them complete and total control and insures their word is the final word. UT wants the status quo but if it is a choice between an equal more powerful Big12 or a weaker Big12 with UT in control then we know what UT will do.
If this latest round of "UT don't need no data, now give me Houston" hasn't convinced the other Big12 members they need to make the expansion decisions which best strengthens the league then they deserve what they will get. ...a front row seat to an imploding conference while searching for a new P4 home
The only chance for the other Big12 programs to get out from under UT's boot is to build up their conference. UT only builds one thing...its own power base. UT will split the baby before it will share it.
