The best way to prove you’re a blue blood is
to be mediocre for decades at a time but still be thought of as a blue blood.

to be mediocre for decades at a time but still be thought of as a blue blood.
“Sure, the Iowa State Hawkeyes are undefeated, with wins over Texas and twice over Oklahoma, but are they REALLY deserving of a playoff bid? More after this 30 for 30 episode of Alabama’s epic 9-3 season this year.”
I mean, the first time I've heard of the guy was yesterday (or the day before), so yeah, I'm kind of still in "starting" territory.
Hmmm.....wonder if a few Big 12 AD's, presidents, or other high up staff could lose their jobs. Of course, that could be the least of their worries right now. Bet they're busy rushing through their email from the last 12 months. Sleep well my friends.
I think that could be true with the Texas President. He along with the WVU and TT Presidents were part of a small group that worked with a media consulting business hired by the Big12 to approach FOX and ESPN about starting up negotiations for the Big 12's next media contract.
I would think his ethics would come under question as he is working both sides and it allowed him to garner inside information related to FOX's (ESPN's Competitor) thought process on renewal of Big 12 Media Rights.
ESPN & FOX Decline Early Negotiations
ESPN is dying. Maybe the Big 12 can finish it off.
Texas does have a habit of killing everything it touches.
Wait. Are you trying to tell me not every single team in the SEC is one of the greatest teams in all of college football like ESPN has been telling me?!
Seems like Captain Obvious now that their backstabbing ways have been brought to light. But good point for sure!
NOT a coincidence...
Bob Odenkirk in stable condition after collapsing on set of 'Better Call Saul' | CNN
Bob Odenkirk, star of hit TV shows "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul," is in stable condition "after experiencing a heart related incident" that caused him to collapse on set, the actor's representatives said Wednesday.
As always, no one has any interest in stopping them from going. We just want our God damned money.
I was just reading an article about AAC expansion and found this nugget extra interesting with the news of the ESPN was "recommending" AAC take 3-5 schools " One league insider said Baylor, TCU, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and West Virginia would be the most obvious choices if The American went to 16". Coincidence?
The article also noted that if the B12 wanted to be the aggressor and take from the AAC it require 27-month notice and $10 million exit fee. UCONN ended up paying 17 millions to get out in a year.
All the more reason to force UT/OU to stay for at least 2 years. Even if another school would be identified they won't be able to get out of their BOR for a while.

I think it's good that Iowa State isn't on that list????
Yeah, BEST CASE scenario is that it gives espn enough pause that it takes them 30 years to finish off and destroy college athletics instead of the 10 year pace it’s looking like they’re on.
True, they are gone, but boy could it make it a lot more costly to ESPN. How stable would the league be with say a billion dollar judgement against ESPN.
