"For you people that have not been married, I’m going to give you advice from a 53-year-old guy," Alden said with a smile. "I’m going to tell you something, man. … If you’re going to go through a Christian ceremony, they’re going to ask you, ‘until death do us part.’ And if you come up with that puppy and say, ‘You know what, we’re going to kind of hang out for six years, then we’re going to figure it out after that,’ prenups aren’t usually a good idea to start the wedding night. Just remember that."

"Over the course of a year and a half, even though you had a lot of people saying, ‘We’re all in, we’re all together,’ seven of our institutions in our league — seven! — looked at different homes publicly," Alden said. "Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas Tech, Nebraska, Colorado, Texas A&M. Seven."

No mention of thee one who started it all... MuZoo.

Yeah, he casually left out the ones that started it.  Typical Meth Aggie.

Their best move would be to merge with CUSA and become the Big USA Conference

I was pro-Mountain West, C-USA, Big East merger.

To be fair they wanted conference stability. They never said anything about internal stability.

Stability - the natural enemy of A&M.  Conf, coach, bonfire structure.

would make for a great t-shirt.

Did those meth-heads forget about all of the Big 12 schools granting their rights already.  Kinda blows up dudes JFK/UT pac-XX theory.

The tiger fans I'm talking to say after MU left, the schools decided not to sign the contract. 

[chum1]

personally, i would have went to the sec just because it's a kick ass conference, but i guess we're seeing that there are lots of other good reasons to go.

The Pac-12 shut the door on all of them.  The schools did.  Larry Scott may have not, but the schools did.  They don't want Texas to have any special concessions.  So, as long as the LHN exists, there is no Texas in the Pac-12 in any form.

That mean-spirited Larry Scott look-a-like thread is biting them in the ass.

So the big east now stretches from SoCal, to Boise, to New York, to Florida...   Think of the all the tv's they will have in their area.

so we have to pray for LHN to be successful.  all EMAW should call your cable/satellite provider and demand the LHN

[chum1]

lhn will be successful.  i'm more worried about it being too successful and watching ut go indy a la byu.  they didn't create that rough rider only to broadcast one or two games a year and let other tv networks profit from the rest.

I still think the problem for what Texas would ultimately do with their non-revenue sports makes independence nearly impossible for them.

Besides, they'll make like $30+ million a year in TV revenue starting next year.  No way they want to make a move any time soon.

Texas will have to negotiate a new Tier 1 deal before the grant of rights is up.  So, should they leave, they'll be leaving in year two of the Tier 1 contract.

Unlikely.  Not impossible, but unlikely.
