A&M will be in the cellar of the SEC 2-3 years after tu and Blow-U join.

And we will remain there forever.


Imagine thinking college football or any NCAA sports will not be blown up by what NIL is doing to them.

There is no reason at all to think A&M, with its vast resources would be a lower tier team.
We have 115 or whatever years of history to know that A&M will end up as a lower tier team. Call it a curse, whatever - that is the historical fact. Mostly because as long as we have been tied to the hip with tu, our entire mental existence has been wrapped around them and not Texas A&M.

It has taken us 10 years to learn as a program that we don't need them to succeed. 10 years. And we are at a point where we can think about pulling a chair up to the big boys table in football. tu joins the conference and we will be back to our old mentality within 3 years - we will resort to our historical DNA profile of just wanting to one up tu with nothing else really mattering. And that will be our downfall, just like it was for the first century and more of our program.

You can't change who you are if you don't change the situation you find yourself in.


NIL changed the game, this is why OU and Texas are so desperate to get in. College sports is about to undergo the biggest change in history and none of you can see it.
Everyone sees it, but this thread is about tu and Blow-U getting into the SEC.

You seem to only want to discuss NIL and nothing else.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Because that, the free transfer rule, and streaming video online are all that matter now. College sports are now semi-professional, anything that happened previously can be discarded.

I think this all blows up completely within the next 10 years anyway so any long term discussion is really moot.

Not trying to pedantic but are there actual powers apart from a bully pulpit that the governor or legislature have here currently? A&M and the remaining B12 members may hate it but tu just says "tough s."
Sure. Money comes from the Leg and Texas already gets the 2/3rds split from the PUF. A&M and Tech could make a push that Tech or other Texas Publics should get that 1/3rd. That's for starters.
UH and tu-Dallas would want to get in line for that if changes were being made.
I agree. tu-Dallas already gets part of tu's money though as do some of their other System schools as does some of the A&M System. Still most schools get nada.

It has occurred to me that this is all smoke from tu & OU because the Little 12 is starting to renegotiate their TV Deals.

I am guessing that tu & OU will eventually agree to stay in the Little 12 if they get a bigger share of the TV Contract $$$$. The rest of the Little 12 will have to agree if they want to survive as a conference.

LOLOLOL tu is just being tu.

$76 million per school to break their contract. So it's 2 years just to break even if they move

Yep, makes no sense to move right now.

But, if they are starting to renegotiate the B-12 TV Contract then this is the Right Time to Extort a bigger cut from their conference mates. I will go with Extortion in order to agree to stay in the B-12. tu being tu.
