“There was greed on both sides and I think the Aggies just decided that the Longhorns weren’t dividing the money pie fairly. So since it’s a free country , we’re walking to the SEC that splits the money evenly to it’s members and see how it works out.”
Here at the University of Texas, we are not Socialists!
However, it would seem that the Aggies, are Socialists as they think wealth should be shared, just like they do is Sweden.
Please tell me why a top tier program like Texas should share their money with the Poor Aggies.
The revenue shared has to do with the contract for tv rights for the conference. So it was split evenly among the members equally. The revenue Texas makes on it’s stadium, beverages and other Texas gear they keep. the Longhorn network was slated to have clauses that other Big 12 teams couldn’t be on network/cable tv competing with games on the Longhorn network. ESPN was going to essentially freeze out any other team from being on cable if it competed with t.u.
Just didn’t make sense for Aggies and I hope the Longhorn network works out. I just don’t see a big market for games like the UT v. Sam Houston State basketball game, but I’m only an Aggie and there are probably a ton of folks willing to pay to view that contest. So now the Longhorn Network can just make all the money in the world for the longhorns and everybody else can stick a straw in it and just “suck it”.
