This is good for ISU, but maybe bad for the B12. ISU doesn't want a strong Texas another team to climb up too, but the B12 needs a strong Texas to survive.

Also it could just be an agent putting false info out there to get a better offer from UT.

Big12 is done for when the current TV contract expires. There will be no more big money contracts from ESPN now that their customer count is a dumpster fire.

ESPN was reporting Hermans wants to speak with Texas before anything happens. We need Texas to become relevant for the good of the conference.

Imagine if you are Strong right now. Your bosses are going to talk to another guy but yet you aren't fired along with saying that you may be able to keep your job if you blow out TCU. While it all sucks, Strong will be better off leaving that crapshow.

Too bad for Herman that USC became revelant again because I'd take less to go there than Texas and he's from California. He could do great there.

LSU seems to have serious delusions of grandeur. Under Miles they were consistently a 10+ win team and in the championship conversation multiple seasons. Yet somehow that wasn't good enough.

No way Herman signs this deal without talking to A&M and Texas first IMO. Herman to South Carolina was supposed to be a done deal until LSU almost opened. So maybe Herman really wants the LSU job. The big 12 would seem to be an easier path to a National Title. No Saban. The big 12 does need Texas to be a contender. I enjoy the coaching silly season. Texas might have leaked this to throw a wrench in the mix. Might have been worried that LSU and Herman were close to a deal type thing.
