Who the heck would it have to boss around?

Considering their behavior, and I have been an observer of it for over fifty years, that might be a consideration to deter them from going independent, but I seriously doubt it will be enough to trump their ego.

I could care less if people hate us, there are no white knights in college football, but it’s the conference affiliation that bothers. I have no issues with a school looking out for its own interests, but, at this point, it’s acting against our self interest to continue with the LHN in its current format.

on ESPiN, talking about how uT is taking the path of ND and found it apt. They could very well horde their money into irrelevance. Sure, ND still gets the talk, or more accurately, the hype, but they continue to rake in cash, and put a terrible team on the field.

It has been over 20 years since ND’s last championship, and they haven’t had aTm to beat in a bowl game for nearly as long. I know uT covets cash, but what will they think when the college football world doesn’t care? More importantly, will it matter when recruits don’t care? No team is insulated from them whim of 18 year olds.

Too many uT grads forget the John Macovick years. Would they like that, and Rout 66, every year?

The (Sour)Grapes of Wrath had led Oklahoma to journey West once again. In Dubious Battle Beebe has led a conference Of Mice and Men through The Long Valley, unfortunately for him it will lead to Cannery Row. I am grateful that he and the conference leaders did not pursue The Harvest (of) Gypsies to keep the conference from going down the toilette with The Log of The Sea of Cortez (A&M). I am convinced that The Pearl (KU) will make it to The Pastures of Heaven and To a God Unknown. Steinbeck saw it all happening many years ago.
