Waited for the buyout to drop today, and then make the announcement. Wonder if TT could some how go after UT, stating they should get the entire buyout price because the agreement was in place for today?

Either way, it will sure be a heated rivalry when UT and TT play from now on.

Why is everyone saying this is a good move for Iowa State? I don't get that.
Beard's likely one of a few coaches that could make TTU as good as they were. With him now at Texas, Texas jumps from middle of the pack to the top, while TTU falls from the top to the bottom and possibly the very bottom.

A coach like Beard or Bob Knight is the only thing that can overcome the major issues with location that Lubbock presents. They definitely aren’t getting someone in better than Beard, ergo, brings TTU down a level. TTU down a level = easier for us to beat them.

Texas is Texas they are hard to beat no matter what.
