So Texas has told all B12 members that they will not jump ship to another conference. They say if B12 has defections after GOR(cont)
MH ver3 @MH ver3 42m42 minutes ago
(Cont) they will just backfill with some of the candidates they have already interviewed.

UT's logic is simple: outside of VT's couple of years and TCU sharing one, no one added to a P5 since 2004 has won a FB conf championship
MH ver3 @MH ver3 41m41 minutes ago
UT also not ruling out adding schools from PAC once their GOR is up.

@MH ver3 ummm. UC won multiple in the BE.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 39m39 minutes ago
@Epfourteen not a P5.

@MH ver3 ok. Power 5 has existed for 2 years. Your tweet makes no sense then.

@Epfourteen the leagues in the P5 have existed since before 2004

When discussing any UT B1G rumor remember that ESPN has an option on UT rights that matches length of LHN contract.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 3h3 hours ago
Why would ESPN allow UT to move to the B1G when Fox is the primary rights holder. ESPN has a secondary contract.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 3h3 hours ago
Not only would such a move devalue the Big 12 it would also harm ESPN.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 3h3 hours ago
Also note that UT is prohibited from being a part of any other network (other than LHN).

"Neither IMG nor UT will during the Term... participate or similar network enterprise (regardless of name) related to UT"
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 3h3 hours ago
What that means is that Texas cannot participate in any conference network until the LHN deal has expired.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 3h3 hours ago
An ESPN contact gave me the info on the LHN contract. The takeaway is that ESPN wants the Big 12 intact.

I'm about to say some controversial stuff here so buckle up.

6. Finally (and regrettably) we'll have 7 more years of rumors about UT and OU leaving the Big 12.
