"they even got beat by Kansas......and it was in Austin" GoldLol that was funny
I'm sure most of these guys who know what they are doing have an idea of what is going down, we on the message boards are just throwing darts.Im sure this has been addressed but do you think AD Benedict had info on Texas/OU moving a few years ago? It's great we're back in the BE, but I'm wondering if the move was made knowing what was about to happen.

Everyone knew the landscape and that the B12 was vulnerable to this.Im sure this has been addressed but do you think AD Benedict had info on Texas/OU moving a few years ago? It's great we're back in the BE, but I'm wondering if the move was made knowing what was about to happen.
Agree with first point , not sure about the second point given that you can was one of the four finalist in consideration. In any event, though a relatively stable big 12 was an improvement to staying in the American, I’m not so sure that he greatly diminished “little 12“ would be a good choice for us. We would be too much of a geographic outlier.Two points.
1) Once the AAC media deal came out, there was no financial incentive to remain in the AAC.
2) After the Big 12 ran their first expansion bake-off, it became clear to DB that UConn was not on the short list for future Big 12 expansion. With only 10 schools and Texas restless (it appears Texas approached OU about leaving), it looked like the AAC would eventually get raided of 2 or 3 of the top schools and the AAC would then be a badly damaged conference.
DB read the tea leaves and UConn left the AAC. In hindsight, it was the correct strategic move.
The biggest thing the B12 lost if you analyze the departures is eyeballs.Agree with first point , not sure about the second point given that you can was one of the four finalist in consideration.

The thing that time won’t change is geography. We are a horrible geographic fit for the big 12. I doubt they would offer us, but, absent their miraculously getting an amazing media rights deal, I don’t think we’d accept either.The biggest thing the B12 lost if you analyze the departures is eyeballs.
Lets see who is better to add the most viewers:
Theses are the schools in order
If you added a guy able to promote the program like Mora back in 2016.
UConn/BYU
Houston / Cinncy
USF
The only question is future raids on the B12 however if the ACC
adds teams in that raid , in a few years we could be a prime target
the big $ schools will always need the the other 8 so they have someone to beat up on. otherwise, the revenue would slip, bowl games become an issueTexas is all about the money; and OK Castiglione is perfectly happy to tag along. This sets in motion a Premier league because a bunch of these top revenue schools are gonna be looking left and right at paying the other 8 in the SEC and say ... WHY? Texas doesn't just want $70m per annum; they want Vandys $30-40 and others. This is straight out of Econ 101
They really aren't focused today on top quality FB
This was incredible. The internet has redeemed itself, at least for one day.
Beautiful. But when is the Hitler one coming out?
I just found this one.
It mocks A&M rather than Texas or OU. That would be the reaction from SU, BCU, and Pitt if UCONN were invited to the ACC.Beautiful as well. Thanks.
