Well played.

So, does the person who posts the first youtube video of burning ejaculate get like the rep of the century or what?


...don't know about that but the upside of all of this "jar burning" is that it hopefully leads to the eventual extinction of the A&M species...

Did you miss the other thread? It was kind of small.

Considering its Oklahoma flying that plane, if (and thats a big if) it were flying to UH, presumably that would mean OU was ok with the idea. If OU is ok with the idea, the conference stays together. Texas is happy where it is.

Right.

As incompetent as Beebe appears right now, he won't contact any school without OU and Texas approving. More importantly OU, because Texas straight up doesn't ******* care.

So, we've found out a couple of things, including that the SEC can't necessarily renegotiate their TV deals to make this financially beneficial, as well as the fact that A&M has had financial issues within the AD in the past.

The official acknowledged that because of the length and structure of the SEC’s current television contract, adding Texas A&M and a 14th member would not be financially beneficial from a rights standpoint.

Texas A&M and Team No. 14 are expected to receive a pro rata share equal to what the SEC’s 12 current universities are making: an average of about $18 million in league payouts. (Individual universities can make more money from their separate television deals.)

The SEC deal, which ends in 2025, has a few windows when it can be renegotiated but no one from the SEC or the networks expects any radical change.

So the notion that Texas A&M will see a significant financial gain by going to the SEC is not true. While the SEC offers more long-term security, the Big 12 could end up with a television deal in four years that surpasses the annual payout of the SEC, according to Joel Lulla, a New York-based lawyer who is the Big 12’s television consultant. Starting next season, A&M is guaranteed $20 million of total revenue from the Big 12. Once the Big 12 negotiates its deal that expires in four years, Texas A&M would be poised to make more money. Texas A&M also has to deal with a potentially significant buyout that will be in the neighborhood of $15 million.

“Economically, unless the SEC opens their TV deals to the extent where they make more than a pro rata increase, it makes no sense at all,” Lulla said.

I wonder if that rumor of some donor giving the TAMU A.D. millions for Kyle Field in exchange for a move to the SEC has a kernel of truth to it, or else some accountant in College Station might be wondering what the deal is.

It is almost noon and we have not hit 5,000 yet. Get it going. What are you eating for lunch?

Where is JP today? Somebody email him and ask what is going on. Tammy is still waffling between conferences.
