Message: [QUOTE="bobbyinaz, post: 1567312, member: 3853"] So according to the Dood - Texas is so desperate to stay in a conference with WVU that they are willing to give up the $300MM they are guaranteed from the LHN and now become good partners & share their windfall with everyone else?? While the LHN is a complete fail for ESPN it still pays UT $15MM/year for the next 17 or 18 years. IMO, I don't see any way UT is going to split that up with the other members of the conference under the guise of a B12N when they don't have to. Bevo cares about 1 thing only. UT officials know that they will have their choice of landing spots if/when the time comes. Some of those options may include keeping the LHN (i.e. an ACC deal similar to ND), others may require them to give up the LHN. The point being, there is no reason for them to make that decision now. In a perfect world, things would stay exactly the way they are for UT. They have a 10 team league that they basically control, they have their annual Red River Rivalry with OK, they have a huge money advantage over the other conference members & for all of those predicting the demise of Charlie Strong, he reeled in a top 10 class yesterday. Boren & Gee can squawk all they want about expansion and about a B12N but until someone from UT says they are willing to share I don't see any changes coming for the B12 [/QUOTE]
