Texas sees the B12 will be forced to expand to 12 to have a 9 game schedule. If they must be in a 12 member conf they want it to be the big 10

@NebGradDubDub Wouldn’t ESPN just save the cash? The LHN contract basically gives ESPN squat. 1 tier 3 football game?

Look. I want the B12 to survive. WVU has a better chance of making the playoffs in a conf that doesn’t have Bama, LSU and Georgia.

@Iamgrizzly1974 Because the big 10 approached Texas.

@posas13 $275 million is the avg B12 payout over 11 years.

@posas13 My ESPN friend gave me the exact clause in the contract that allows UT an out. Would ESPN shed a tear? I think not.

@pfac51 It goes down $25 million each year.

Also a factor. With a GoR in place the B12 would have one helluva case of torturous inference against the big 10.

I also can’t see Texas being worth enough $ to justify the risk of $275

Challenging the GoR is likely to cost Texas $275 million. Logically I can’t fathom taking that risk.

@JakeBumgarner Me too. Especially with D4 on the horizon. I’m talking about it to hopefully kill the deal.

Vandy & Mizzo are NOT in play but another B12 school is.

The big 10 & Dodd believe Texas can challenge the GoR due to the amount of $ Horns would bring to BTN.

@JakeBumgarner big 10. This is real and it scares the crap out of me.

It doesn’t make me happy to say it, but Texas has something up Dodd’s 10-gallon hat. Texas thinks it can get out of the GoR. I HOPE NOT.
