How much more beneficial can it really be? Are you suggesting Texas doesn't get their pick of Texas recruits already? They can only take so many each year. The ones that didn't grow up dreaming about playing for Texas weren't going to sign with them anyway. The others that do don't need a LHN to convince them any more. We don't compete for those recruits. The only school that does is OU, and even they can't pry the majority of them away, they just make sure they don't go to some other Texas school. So, what is the huge recruiting benefit you see?

The tone of what he said seems to indicate Mizzou is leaning towards staying when an opportunity to go to the SEC is there. I hope he is wrong, and that Mizzou is not swayed by these last minute arguments, which are probably empty promises by Texas, OU, etc., and that we take the opportunity to leave those cheating whores of conference mates behind.

I think that is good news because we didn't hear any "...proud members of the Big 12" statements. |

True as well. I think I said earlier in this thread that every day we go without a "proud member of the Big XII" statement is a day closer Mizzou gets to leaving. Tuesday cannot get here fast enough. I am sure twitter will be on fire tomorrow, if it is not already, with speculation.

Should be a fun few days. Hopefully the BOC pulls the trigger.

And sorry if you don't like the term "worthless", but that is exactly how ESPN, Fox, etc would view the revenue potential of a Big 12 Network without Texas. The Big Ten Network would be worthless without OSU and Michigan. The upcoming SEC Network will be worthless without Florida and Alabama. Quote:
Don't worry, hopefully the last of the complainers will be gone shortly and you guys can forget this mess ever happened. Schools like Mizzou, A&M, Nebraska, and Colorado just don't understand the great vision of LHN. |

I didn't ask for your help, I asked you to explain it. I explained why I didn't think it was, your only return seems to be "because I said so". This leads me to believe it is only a recruiting advantage in your mind because you can't describe it for anyone else.
