"This is a long-term and unequivocal commitment," Texas president William Powers Jr. said Tuesday. "We've decided the Big 12 provides the best long-term opportunity for our university."
It seems when all else fails that money talks and bs walks. In this case the money talked and won out Texas who already is the biggest draw financially for the conference. Some of the smaller schools if you want to call them that, gave up their share of the buyout penalty when Nebraska and Colorado exited. I say good for you and good ridance to the Cornhuskers and Buffs.
And by staying in the Big 12, Texas can explore whether it should start its own Longhorns TV network. If it had moved to the Pac-10, Texas would have had to surrender its media rights. It looks like a win win for both the conference and Texas.
