You come out and demand equal pay for all of the schools. No way Texas agrees, so all is right in the world, with Texas looking like the douche it really is.

A&M looks like a hero and gets what they want.

the key figure that doesn't realize they have as much power as they do is OU
I think its silly to think that OU doesn't know their power. I think they feel that they will get the best $$$$ deal, in staying together with OSU and Texas. There doesn't appear to be a scenario that would bring Texas or OSU to the SEC, so the money trail for OU is to stay together with Texas...

A&M demands that the proceeds from the "Big-12 Network" get evenly distributed amongst the schools. UT will flip out.

Wow if Texas is giving up equal share to AM and Oklahoma then you know Texas is getting desperate. Texas AM ought to play hardball and ask for more than UT just to prove the point that this was all Texas fault to begin with. Otherwise the Aggies risk looking like being the lap dog of Texas.

On the other hand this is going to be a tough deal for AM to turn down. Btw Texas AM to SEC helps recruit against Texas in PAC 10. Texas is well aware of this.

WTF is all this crap that it would make aTm look like the bad guy? WHO THE frick CARES! That shite is Junior High crap. The bottom line is, you do whats best for YOU. You do whats in the best interest of your school. If you dont look out for your arse, trust me, nobody else will either. A&M, of all places, should know this. They have been down on their knees in front of Texas so long their knees have calluses.

To each his own. You want to be a bitch in heat? Then be a bitch in heat. Just dont come cryin in the future that ur arse hurts.

of the top 4 conferences in terms of tv deals, 3 of the 4 split revenues equally amongst schools. the only one that doesn't? the big 12. texas' greed killed the swc and it will kill the big 12.

i often wonder where they would be if dkr didn't step in and tell deloss dodds he was hiring buttertooth brown instead of dodds' preference at the time.

Chip Brown was an actual reporter before he sold out to be a flack for Texas Athletics via Orangebloods.

But check out the sexy sonofabitch that owns orangebloods.

Ladies and gentlemen, get your hormones in check as I give you..........Geoff Ketchum!!!



fricking queerbag didn't even go to UT; he's a proud graduate of Texas State University in San Marcos. He's the ultimate t-shirt fan; he's actually made a career out of talking shite on behalf of a school he wasn't good enough to get in to.

Horse shite.
How can any one but texas be seen as the instigator in this whole farce? Further more, why would aTm care what the texas spin machine said about them.

It really just pisses me off how some people KNOW whats going on, KNOWS what they're doing is not fair, KNOWS how they've been mistreated in forever, yet has the opportunity to make life better for themselves and their family, but yet goes back to the dysfunctional bitch who's caused all the trouble, then tomorrow is no different than the day before.

Look....you can only cry wolf so many times before everyone else really just doesn't give a frick.

If thats what they want, then have at it.
