re: If the Big12 fails, who does Texas play in non-football sports?

So what you're essentially saying is that people will tune in and watch UT games because of their hatred for UT? Fat chance
The only reason I have any interest in UT right now is because my GF currently goes to school there.
I enjoy watching UT if they are playing OSU or OU but any other weekend and UT isn't even on my radar.
A national brand is bigger than just one program. Notre Dame is the sole exception to this rule and that is due to religious aspects/media hype.
UT is a great program, no doubt, but they are not going to hit their marks if they are independent.

Here's where we disagree...no problem. I think Notre Dame is on a tier with other schools, Texas being one of them.

Earlier in the thread, I agreed to this. I was just arguing the point with another poster about UT's stance within the nation. He tried to say that Miami and USC (of all teams) were 'national brands', but not Texas.
