you people have to realize that UT and OU build their entire football donation/ticket systems around the RRS game. We have 3-6k OVER season ticket prices just to get tickets to that game. Neither program is willing to lose that.

We'd cover cover that with assest sharing and tv money easily. OU would have nothing to worry about and could do what aTm could be doing in Texas...cherry picking texas talent with the promise of playing in the SEC. Texas without OU and aTm would screwed in the PAC10.

and not gonna happen, that would be a PR disaster for the texas AD office. I seriously doubt we would even pursue scheduling tech/ou/osu, but if texas chooses to end that rivalry game it will be a huge black eye for dodds, something he is very averse to.

this is the fascinating thing to me - because this (I think) represents what Texas fans think

WTF do you guys think people around the country tune in to watch Texas for? It's not to see you play Texas Tech - it's to see you play Nebraska and OU (maybe A&M)

Threatening to stop playing teams if they don't kow tow just blows my mind - it's cutting off your nose to spite your face. You benefit enormously by playing OU in a big nationally televised game. It's the only guaranteed game Texas plays every year that everyone tries to watch

Being in different conferences would not end the rivalries. Texas' dumbass pride would.
