Here's a little story for you ags:

Rep. Dan Branch, Chairman of House Higher Education Committee, applauded UT at a February hearing regarding the Longhorn Network. How is Texas A&M moving to the SEC any different?

quote:
"I do not think this Legislature ought to penalize people that are going on and being successful in maximizing their assets and getting a higher return and finding revenues that are not a tax base." - Rep. Dan Branch, House Committee on Higher Education, 2/23/11

quote:
I certainly will do everything I can to make sure that people who take care of their institutions and raise them up and bring in more revenues and create value that somehow that wouldn’t be a detriment as they go through the appropriations process." - Rep. Dan Branch, House Committee on Higher Education, 2/23/11


See this article for his thoughts on A&M to SEC:

here is a shorter version that fits on twitter with hashtag:

quote:
"Shouldn't penalize for maximizing assets and finding revenues that are not a tax base." TX Rep. D. Branch, Cmte. on High Ed., 2/23/11 #tamu

What's the shock here? He's supportive of institutions raising their own funds so the state of TX doesn't have to carry the burden. Isn't that the Republican way? Smaller government and institutional empowerment? Is Dan holding A&M back from maximizing its own revenue?

I think the legislature is out of session until next year. Perry would have to call them back. I just don't think he's going to do that.

Get this from Branch's website"

"Part of that goes to you don't want another major conference coming undone by the action of one," Branch said. "So there's two parts to this. One, is this a good move for Texas A&M?

"And, more importantly, from our vantage point would there be a negative consequence to the University of Texas or Texas Tech University and even our private schools like Baylor - what effect it could have on them?"

Get it? The sips can do whatever they want, but A&M has to worry about the sips and the Big12.

Those rotten hypocrital *******s.

Can somebody just find a hooker that he slept with and get her to do an interview for CNN?

Let's see how much time he has to impede the move to the SEC then.

Thanks for getting this out there, Brandon. It makes me happy to know you are on our side and doing what you can. There is power to social media. The wider we spread this information, the more likely a mainstream news outlet picks it up and publically shames this clown.

all talk, no substance.

look at two states who have already survived this split, Georgia and South Carolina. this is only an issue because the whorns don't want us to go out on our own. when you get debate, you've finally started talking about the solution.
