Our rivalry game is a guarantee TV game for the Aggies...how many of their other games can they count on being on TV? Instead of provide, maybe I should have said ensure instead?


It's a guaranteed NATIONAL TV game for Texas, too. I know Texas isn't struggling for national appeal, but I'm not sure games against Iowa State, Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State would ever be anything higher than Tier 2 or Tier 3 (and that's half of the conference).

The Aggies will surely get more TV exposure in the SEC but moreso based on opponent prestige(LSU, Bama, UF, etc.) and not because they are such a strong national brand your avg fan wants to see IMO.


The SEC is the strong national brand that your average fan wants to see. That's the huge difference between the Big XII and the SEC.

GulfCoastPoke, I wasn't trying to call OSU anyone's bitch. I was saying that OU (and Texas) don't care if there is anyone of any quality in their league as long as it keeps its AQ status. I wasn't trying to say that there wasn't anyone of any quality in the league, just that it doesn't matter to those guys. It's all about the easiest route to BCS bowl money.
