Wendy Wintersteen & Jamie Pollard Address the Fans
- Thread starter TXCyclones
- Start date
Duration…it is like a coach’s buyout. And uncertainty…this is be the first challenge/exit strategy to GOR if I’m not mistaken. This might set the precedent if they get off easy. But like with anything in this matter, it’s likely to be a question on if you’re able to just plow through the issue with cash.
I think the 2022 date came from a few things.
People cant see it going any longer.
There were rumors UT and OU have the money lined up to buy out if they needed to, but they are posturing they will stay for legal reasons.
The expectation is the conference implodes and everyone leaves and votes to dissolve, at least the majority share.
Its all speculation as everything is at this point.
It will be interesting to see how TX / OU, the other Big 12 schools, and the media view the video from Wendy Wintersteen and Jamie Pollard.
Anyone else looking forward to chanting
"Four More Years!" When Texas runs out onto the field come November?
You want to go play in the SEC? Well you are just going to have to suck on it for a while until we say you can go. Of course, that is after we get paid extra to speed up the time table and we all have our exit plans figured out.
Relax people. We have all the leverage here. No need to panic.

Wendy literally barely moves from 1:34seconds on. How the hell are you guys reading that body language?
Because we're not going to want to drag it out that long either, in reality.
If we do, its because we have no landing spot, and we're ******
I thought the messages was quite clear. We hang tough for 4 years and we pocket our normal TV rights money of $160M. UT and OU crap their pants since the SEC wants them early and they negotiate the buyout number which still is a big number.
On a serious note JP is spot on we have to pack JTS and Hilton to make ISU a even better commodity when all this settles out in a year or so.
Go Cyclones

But how does it make sense for existing SEC schools to add 2 new members and there isn't incremental TV rights? CBS still has their deal for 3-4 years.
The only way it would make sense is if ESPN feels it can reduce its Big12 media rights. I see lawyers all over that.
and 5) Cyclone Nation, Fill Jack Trice Stadium, and Fill Hilton Coliseum! Go Cyclones!
Ha. Being unnaturally clenched is certainly still body language.
…again, I think it was just a hard video to film.
He's not saying the university is waiting anything out - you can bet he and Dr. W are doing everything they can - but because there are legal and administrative processes that need to play out it will take a while for everything to settle out. The fans need to just wait it out.
There is no choice but to wait. Anyone that thought the B1G is going to be handing out invites next week is ignorant.
B1G will make another, another huge press on ND. They won’t do anything until they exhaust that possibility.
Then, the rumors of pillaging the Pac12 for high profile schools and creating a coast-to-coast league with pod divisions will be fully explored.
We are at least a year of two away from anything. WW and JP are just trying to calm down the idiots I see here that think there are imminent moves to be made.
Only viable path forward is to retain CMC, remain relevant (attractive) on the football field, and get our ish together in MBB.

I'm sorry, but I have to question the competence of every person involved in this video, from the decision to make it in the first place, to production, to editing. This didn't do anything to make our university look like a first-class institution.
Lol this YouTube comment has me rolling
"1:34 Wintersteen goes to airplane mode"
I understand it’s just a formality because we wouldn’t be to this point if they didn’t know they had the votes. But it would be hilarious if they didn’t end up having the votes.
I recall that after the NU/A&M/Mizzou debacle, our next media deal significantly increased the penalties for leaving. So no, those schools weren't subject to the same terms.
ETA: Thinking more about it, I believe at the time our current GOR was viewed as the most airtight due to the payments necessary for anyone who elected to leave. I think OU/UT are absolutely banking on:
1. The rest of the league panics and dissolves as members jump ship so they don't owe anything, or
2. They get money from the media companies, SEC and donors to pay for the penalties.
You have to think that abiding by the letter of the GOR would put a dent in even UT's wallet.
