So just came back to tell you guys, "I Told You So!"
Game theory in regards to championships is going to be a tough row to hoe, but it's doable and sustainable. The short term revenue benefits are negligible. We could've bilked the rest of the Big 12 to stick around, still had the LHN for a decade, and not paid exit fees. But the long term premier conference leverage outlook requires shades.
With our lack of winning on the field and the draft development that takes place in the SEC it seems that it has been a tough sell to elite recruits even when their dream school used to be Texas. That narrative by A&M can now go fuck itself. Interesting point on the Surly Podcast that this does not happen without N.I.L and other legal changes. The paying, for now, will be out in the open and we can partake. All the other inherent qualities of The University, the city, and the state can be added to the pile. These our recruits now, and we'll also have some of yours too.
I could not even fathom being apart of this and the other threads for 12 years, but I was wrong. You guys made it through to the other side. May I please come aboard? I'm on regardless. Never ever chant SEC unless it's immediately followed by a mocking 'SUCKS!'
Fuck'em
