Texas A&M to the SEC!!
UT is the best business man. Our football program made $93 million last year, which is $22 million more than second place. And next year you can add $15 million to that amount.
It is not UT's fault that nobody can see the network, that is purely ESPN's fault (and guess what, UT is still getting paid).
Your alma mater didn't see the writing on the wall, they are just jelly of UT which is nothing new. The Big 12 is going to be fine for the next 5 years, and the PAC 12 and ACC never rejected UT (cause we haven't even applied).

Yeah...A&M "took only what they can get"..and that was a stand-alone invite to the best athletic conference in college football. A&M and UT's enrollment are almost equal. In the academics rankings, some have UT slightly ahead and others have A&M slightly ahead. A report put out by the NY Times showing how many fans follow each school...both A&M and UT have over 2 million each.
Oh yeah, in the most recent TV contract for the Big 12, OU, A&M, and Texas were all guaranteed an equal amount that was more than what the other schools were getting. Clearly that was a mistake right? Since A&M "brings nothing to the table". You might want to sit this one out jr. Oh, and I underlined all of the inaccuracies in you're post.

Atm JUST exceeded 50K enrollment THIS year, we've been there since 1997. With all the expansions WE(even by your stupid thought process I can include myself in that since I'M doing the structural inspections out there) are doing to the campus that number will be able to grow even further.
Atm was included in the pie for the network deal because UT tries to include them in all the deals. You're nutts if you think atm has even come close to bringing in the same revenue as UT to the big 12.
As far as engineering academics(since that seems what all of our roots are in), atm isn't ranked above UT in anything but atm biased articles.
I like how you pull that out since I didn't graduate they can't be MY team
I guess since you don't own or play for the Cowboys they can't be your team. I do appreciate your arguments though, its making my day go by faster.

and LOL @ Nebraska, anybody curious why they have dropped off the face of the earth since the conception of the big xii?
they knew how to cheat, not how to win... which is why they won't see another national championship in a long time.

You're so ignorant its entertaining. You've already shown you incompetence since you can't even read a well thought-out post. Academics take a backseat to money making ability when talking about sports. Thus atm doesn't have nearly as much to contribute as UT or OU.

A&M has similar plans to grow, as they have a goal to reach 70k-80k students in the next 10 years.
We were talking about WHY the PAC-12 deal failed, and WHY the Big 12 is failing. If I am completely wrong, then please give the correct information as to why everything is falling apart around UT?
That's strange, I had no idea that the Dallas Cowboys were a university were you can attend and get a degree from...besides, your buddy Satan called out an A&M fan for not attending the school of his choice, so I'm just following his lead.

Good for atm, they're good at growing crops and playing with animals, they should stick to what they know. I haven't been too impressed by any of the pms or civils I've come across from that school.

I built the north endzone of the stadium that he sits his *** on, and the hackerman building along with the repairs on the older sections of the stadium. Along with transferring into the cockrell school next fall so how he percieves me or anyone else for that matter is his own deal I could care less, its the internet.

So I guess the engineer who devised the plan to rescue the Chilean miners was an idiot too, right? Also don't forget about the engineer that is the worlds best oil well killer and helped with the BP spill. All idiots, right?

Well you got that one wrong as according to USnews TAMU is ranked 3rd nationwide in Biological and Agricultural Engineering where TU is not ranked. #10 in Aerospace, Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering - TU not ranked in the top ten. #7 in Industrial/Manufacturing Engineering - TU not ranked in the top ten. #4 in Nuclear Engineering right behind MIT and once again UT not even ranked in this catagory. #18 in Best Value for education - where your overpriced TU education is not even ranked in the top 50 nationally. I could also mention our undergraduate Sciences blow TU outta the water, Veterinary program is the best in the US, and Nuculear physics programs rival the likes of MIT and Cal - Berkley ranked at #12. Also TAMU graduates was ranked #2 in the wallstreet journal for being prefered by employers. TU was not even ranked in the top 25 and Texas Tech grads were listed higher than TU grads at #16. Are you telling me that the Wallstreet Journal and USnews are TAMU biased newspapers/publications? LOL - good luck convincing everone of that one.
Yeah, and despite all of that they still sell out their games and draw a national TV audience which is why the Big 10 added them.

Tripps, did you read this article?
Yeah, nothing earth-shattering, but this is a fun game. Read this article: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/201...2_a4&eref=sihp
I'll even quote the part of the article that is relevant to our current conversation:

A source said early Wednesday morning that the Pac-12 did not want to accept Texas if the Longhorns weren't willing to fold their Longhorn Network into the Pac-12's regional network structure and share revenue equally with all members of the conference.

....I'm aware of that "quote", obviously you didn't read the complete article I posted.
When did I ever bring up academic rankings? I said the two schools were comparable in academics, enrollment, and fan following. I also said that there are various polls out on the internet, and some have UT ahead while others have A&M ahead overall.
Can we get back to the topic that we were on before all of this derailment? The PAC-12 said they wouldn't expand with Texas because of their LHN and the sharing of it.

and we don't even have a true Nuclear engineering school, it is a sub sector of our ME program.
Bio medical literally just started up, but again... UT is a better university.
Remember you always pay for a better product.
