Texas and the SEC

i would imagine that aTm was smart enough to get a no UT agreement as part of their admissions process. gentleman's agreement at the minimum.

Because they will not join anything that they cannot control. And when they are in control of something they destroy it. See: SWC, Big XII.

Texas is being stubborn about keeping the LHN which is something that will never be accepted by all the SEC institutions.

Texas higher ups have bad mouthed the SEC to the point where they would look silly if they joined the SEC.

What does each SEC team make per year with the ESPN deal compared to the LHN? Thanks.

Texas doesn't like to be just "one of the guys"

LHN wouldn't work

Academics are a concern (so they say)

Plus the Whorns ego wouldn't fit through the door.

cant answer why, but they did.
poor mouthed recruiting practices and academic standards

Still seems weak to me. Recruiting is recruiting, and academic standards of the Big XII aren't exactly stellar, I would say on par with the SEC.

Ryan of all the talk out of Ut, not one word has been about joining the SEC. They know it will never happen. And once T A&M get in they would have a vote, and that would not be a good vote for Ut.

Just FYI, but the LHN is perfectly fine under the SEC bylaws and is a test bed to see if UF, LSU and Bama among others can laungh thier own. If people don't already know it, it is perfectly fine ot monitze your third tier rights in the SEC and those revenues are not shared...

As far as why UT and the SEC won't work, UT values things differently than the SEC. It is just that simple. There are things that UT thinks are important that are not emphasized in the SEC.

Texas is not into being treated equal. They like to call the shots. They would be bad for the SEC. They most likely will end up independent.
