So who won?
The lawyers. They always win.
Snow won?
No. He’s the exception to the rule.

The only school in that league that matters in the context of this discussion is Texas. The only way Texas does anything is if they're allowed to keep the LHN. That's why that league isn't gonna fall apart anytime soon.
Always BUFF
I post stupid ****
Mizzou was the big winner in the shake up hands down in so many ways they'll never leave the SEC.
Again, I’m not talking about on-field performance. I’m talking about influence within the conference leadership.
Not sure if serious.
There's no LHN to "keep". It's owned by ESPN. As long as UT gets its extra $15M a year for the next 9 years, they're good.

Two things-One, you're wrong on the ownership. The LHN is a joint venture between Texas, ESPN, and Learfield IMG College. Here's where that matters-ESPN/Learfield would probably need to buy out Texas's ownership stake in the LHN. You really think ESPN (who is strapped by that god-awful NBA contract) wants to do that or keep the status quo? I would guess the latter right now-but I don't see that as anywhere near as big a deal as my second point? Two, do you really think schools like Alabama, LSU, Ohio State, and Michigan would be okay with Texas getting $15M a year because of the LHN if they joined either league?
I don't. They're not going anywhere, and neither is the Big 12. Deal with it.
Exactly. Those conferences wouldn't have to pay Texas a nickel above their standard member deal to pay them more than the total of what UT gets in media $ via Big 12 + LHN.
I’m telling you, living down here you can really see some of that UT sheen wearing off now that A&M had moved on and becoming a little more successful in a much more successful conference. It may be a slow process, but I see UT losing its grip on all the power it holds right now.

Wrong. Aggy is still the weird little brother in this state and their jock riding of the other SEC schools creeps out everybody. Go read SEC rant and you will see that nobody has any love/respect for aggy.
Good to see you 66! Haven’t seen you around the board in a while. You still in the Houston area?
Who are you?
Still down in the Houston area. Bought some land in the country west of Katy and built a new place. Still have my CU football tickets and go up to a couple of games each season. .
Long time board member that has lived in Texas since 1997. Have 2 kids at UT.
You still doing the "bouncy castle" business thing, or am I confusing you with another major donor?
That was a side business I started with a buddy back in 2004. We sold the business and franchise system back in 2014.
Monkey Business?

i tend to agree the Pac has been disappointing in performance....and i don't love the USC down, whole conf suffers theory.....because that sounds almost exactly like the Texas/Big XII thing in some regards.
however, i think Brando is drunk sometimes doing games with Spencer Tillman (who after 15-20 years of doing games i can't decide is really smart or not.....all the words sound good but not sure what they add up to sometimes). i don't mind, but i'm usually drunk or getting there when i'm watching Tim Brando with Pac time zone starts....he's also a total Big 10 honk. which also probably means he's a total Rose Bowl old timer honk. props to that....but i always found the Rose Bowl kinda dull inna day before we were in the Pac.
