How many teams will be left when the dust settles in a few years? I think there's a way for all the teams to still have some involvement. I will explain that at the end of this list. Here's my list of the top 32 programs and a list if it goes to 48. There's some debate if it goes to 48, but not much debate if it stops at 32. I guess one could debate Arizona State, but that's about it. The top 32 at least come close to carrying their own weight. Everyone below that line is losing money for t

This is great content for free.

Yes. Don't be simple minded.  Just because your team is needed doesn't mean they aren't overpaid.

Willingness to pay your team 39 million instead of their worth, 9 million, makes TX/ou gracious and your school subsidized out of necessity, hence a freeloader.  Its another reason Nebraska left.  The wanted even more freeloading than TX/ou were willing to afford them.  So they decided to get some other dumb cuck, B10, to pay their welfare.  The gall. 

Lastly, you don't know shit about fuck about Texas' business dealings with SEC so crawl back under your rock.

With conference mates like you, no wonder they want out.

See here, Texas thinks themselves as better than all. Even the Klan will bend the knee to Cow….thats not what is going to happen. 
 

Sam Houston never wanted to secede, and now here you are…pfft. Good gotdamn riddance.

Aggy should abstain so the vote is 13-0 and then we can then brand it on their dog.

How is it Hypocrisy when we're knocking the freeloaders off the tit? Now you'll get to go play among your peers in the AAC, and we'll play among ours who actually draw a comparable media market. People are throwing around numbers like 80m a year for the SEC media deal now and the AAC + the IR8 is looking at 9m. If that's not self explanatory I don't know what is.

I know where I am, so I don't complain too much, but this "freeloader" stuff is just silly. That's how conferences work. Unless and until you guys go full Prestige Worldwide, conferences have programs making more than they would on their own. That's how conferences work (for now at least).

Conferences will always have that because not every program is worth the same. Even in a conference of Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Texas somebody will be worth the least.

The freeloaders comments lately are because there's a Tech idiot posting stupid shit because he's sad. No offense to Tech itself, every school has idiots. I think realistically the financial freeloaders angle applies to Baylor and TCU as far as our old rivals who are riding our coattails go.

That's not completely true.  AB 1887 prevents state government entities from using taxpayer funds to travel to prohibited states.
I believe Cal, UCLA, SDSU, Fresno State, and others get around this by paying for travel to prohibited states for games directly out of their athletic budgets.

All athletic travel comes out of athletic budgets, correct?

Oh don't worry, my buddies and I are giving them the business. Here's an example (if already posted sorry, but surely not as bad as Bradley Cooper).

That's just it though you explained it with your first line. "I know where I am." As long as the other conference members know their role it's not a problem. But this bullshit about "showing your true colors," is just dumb. I legitimately feel bad for OSU, ISU and Tech, but I'm not going to feel bad for UT being successful.

Now this is good stuff. Because if Oklahoma is going to do what they usually do and let Texas take all the hits for something that was planned and executed by both schools equally then they deserve to be branded as Texas's bitch in exchange.

See, this is completely believable. It's the best long term move for the Pac-12 but there's a reason why that league is getting rapidly passed by the SEC and Big 10.

If they went Pac-16 right now with an eastern pod of Kansas (for basketball and academics), Iowa State, Oklahoma State, and Texas Tech they would be in a much better long term position. They would be able to establish a Saturday night Pac-12 tradition with a game at 7:00 Eastern (best home game for that eastern pod) followed by a game at 10:30 Eastern on Fox and its channels.

Now I'm not saying this is a great solution for them, but there will be no more great solutions because Texas and Oklahoma are off the market now. This may be the best solution for them.
