Did you read the article?3reppom wrote: Texas is a pipe dream of epic proportions. They have no historical ties to the Big 10 region, no rivals what so ever among current big 10 schools, and finally no financial incentive to join the Big 10. They are the most profitable athletic department in the country as is, moving to the big 10 wouldn't add a cent to their bottom line.

Kinda funny you said that because the guy explains that is a mythkaren lotz wrote: I didn't read the article, but as far as Texas joining...isn't there some kind of rule that in order to add a school to the Big Ten, it has to be in a state that either contains another B10 school or borders on a state that contains a B10 school??
what is a myth? the bordering state thing? I remember reading that in one of the B10 expansion threads a while ago.2quik4u wrote:Kinda funny you said that because the guy explains that is a mythkaren lotz wrote: I didn't read the article, but as far as Texas joining...isn't there some kind of rule that in order to add a school to the Big Ten, it has to be in a state that either contains another B10 school or borders on a state that contains a B10 school??
Yes it is a myth that they must border a state with a Big ten team.karen lotz wrote:what is a myth? the bordering state thing?

Traditions? They've been in the Big 12 for 14 years. They play 2 teams they even care about, Oklahoma and Texas A&M; they can easily schedule them OOC.karen lotz wrote:Would a few extra million bucks really be worth leaving behind all of their traditions?
Ok...how much money is it gonna cost for all of the Texas sports programs to travel to places like Pennsylvania and Michigan? For football it wouldn't be that big of a dealSportsAndLady wrote:Traditions? They've been in the Big 12 for 14 years.

And do you really need the answer to the question "would a few extra million bucks really be worth leaving?" It's more than a few, btw. It's about 18 million more.

Really? They're gonna make 18 million dollars more with this move, and you think they'll be worried about travel expenses?karen lotz wrote:Ok...how much money is it gonna cost for all of the Texas sports programs to travel to places like Pennsylvania and Michigan?

You said talked about Texas not being able to pay for the traveling expenses so I pointed out CUSA can pay for it.karen lotz wrote: cool, bro. Calling me a douchebag brings a lot of discussion to the topic.
I guess sarcasm isn't well received by some. I was just saying that because something works for CONFERENCE USA, that doesn't mean its a good idea for the Big Ten or Texas.
