On some days, they remind me of Judge smails grandson. I hear SEC gives nicknames to all their newcomers. Texas is Flounder.
Pollard says Texas "can't leave soon enough"

Yep read the comments to this tweet. They are saying ISU should be thanking Texas and OU for the money they received and will miss the money when they’re gone. Sounds like these feeble minded OU and UT fans missed the memo that the Big 12 will be the solid #3 revenue conference even after OU and UT leaving.
The hosts were answering comments during the live show.
Answered a Texas fan by saying how much of that money is going into fan's pockets.
They also said JP sounds pretty happy with money position of ISU.
So it's a garbage dig by a team out the door. **** Texas.
Edit:. JP also talked about a clandestine meeting of the have nots the last time this went down. Realized not everyone was there and there were have nots within the have nots
Yeah, the tweet below is from a Texas fan who seems to think that opposing schools would rather play on the Longhorn Network than ESPN+. Despite how much people hate ESPN+, I'm not sure there's anyone who would rather play on LHN.
Pollard says Texas "can't leave soon enough"
Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard isn't holding back his feelings about the University of Texas as the Longhorns prepare for their jump to the SEC. Pollard appeared on SicEm 365 Radio in Waco on Tuesday ahead of the Cyclones' men's basketball game against Texas in Austin. Iowa State lostcyclonefanatic.com
Perhaps Pollard is playing to his audience here, because on the call-in show Monday he said obviously we'd rather have not had Texas and Oklahoma leave.
I think that CF article headline is misleading and takes his comment out of context. The quote came after he was asked about playing on the LHN. Everyone hates the LHN, and it will cease to exist when Texas joins the SEC.
The replies on that tweet get dumber and dumber. UT fans claiming that Texas will still get $15 million in Tier 3 rights in the SEC (good joke that the SEC is allowing LHN), thinking that the Big 12 is screwed for revenue when UT OU leave (solidly #3 overall in revenue even after OU, UT leave). Lots of egotistical fans ready to get their asses humbled in the SEC.
Their POS fans are going to have a meltdown when Texas starts losing even more that they do already.
The good news for Texas is they can use that new SEC money to keep paying their fired coaches buyouts.

lol these guys know that LHN will go away after the SEC move, right? The only people who have it are Texas fans. That's exactly why people complain, even ESPN+ is more accessible and puts out a better product than LHN.
Agreed. He absolutely didn't explicitly say *Texas* can't leave soon enough - though like most Cyclone fans, I certainly feel that way and I'd imagine privately Pollard does too.
The question was about the LHN.
Nah, I'm sure if you could rewrite history and if Texas and Oklahoma weren't the asshats that they are then it would be good for them to be part of this conference. But given their public intentions over the past 2+ years, I'm sure he feels like most of us - GTFO ASAP. It's not playing to audiences or talking out both sides of your mouth. It's the context of the questions being asked.
I'm trying to figure out if Texas or the PAC 12(10) has a more distorted view of themselves.
Texas had all of the money. They'll have even more of the money. Cool. Joe fan isn't seeing any of it and all of the money hasn't brought dominance to the Big 12.
Do go away mad. Just go away.

Hell. If the USC-UCLA stuff happened and OUT was a committed member of the Big 12 we'd have one hell of a good chance to pick apart the PAC and have SEC level revenue.
Texas would've still been in the top 5 of revenue.
He can hold the view "I wish they'd have stayed, but once they decided to leave just pay us our money and GTFO." Bellyaching about wanting to leave early without paying is BS. Now that we've agreed on terms, just go away.
