Unofficial Texas to B1G poll?

[HuskerinBig10]

Can only vote once.

Cannot change your mind.

Votes are public.

It is if Texas joined, no other stipulations. We are not discussing things like how many Texas schools come with them, the LHN, how big their TV footprint is, how muich more money the B1G would make, etc.

Just, would you like Texas in the B1G.

Oaknights and I are informally discussing on the general forum. He was going to do a twitter poll, but since I don't twat I would not be able to cast my vote.

For the record, I am in the HELL NO!! category

Hopefully, it will only be Nebraska fans voting.

Yes. it would be nice to see them in a conference who doesn't give a shit about their big money diners.

 

[Big_Red_Marine]

F*CK no.

I'm somewhat surprised, but the response thus far on Twitter is more along with what @HuskerinBig10 was thinking. I guess I thought people would enjoy playing a team that we hate, and think the threat of them trying to take control is overblown. Right now they are a big fish in a small pond. The balance of political power in the B1G is a whole different story.

I will be interested to see what your numbers are if you feel like posting them. I wouldn't do a twitter link because stalkers might come after you. You know, internet weirdos like me.

Bring on the underachieving donghorns.

They'd be a fish out of water without their home office in Irving, Tx. No more making recruiting rules that only benefit tejas schools.

"Wait, the rules are going to effect everyone the same? No thanks" - tejas scum

Hence, it will never happen.

The only reason tejas would even entertain it is to use it as leverage against fellow Big 12 members and keep them capitulating to the whorns.

I.E. An empty threat a la the PAC a few years ago.

It's an absolute no unless they forfeit the LHN and any TV rights that are outside of what B1G schools receive for the BTN.

 

[Brasky]

The B1G is just fine without them, but since they'd be in our division, I just couldn't pass up a yearly game with them.

Really hazy and smelt like a campfire here today. Ch 7 said it was from the wildfire in northern Minnesota though. That smoke traveled a lonnng ways.

I don't really give a fuck what texas does or doesn't do. They shit all over everyone else now they can eat it, whores

Any conference would be happy to grab Texas. We'd probably end up having to take another Texas team or two as well though and it'd mark the end of the B12.

texas is like that really hot gal when she is 100 feet away and the closer she gets the uglier she gets and then she's less then five feet away from you and she hit every branch falling out of the tree, and her face was then set on fire and put out with a shovel.

Sorry but no way in fucking hell do I want that fucking crack whore.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I'd wish nothing more than to play Texas on a regular basis.

Nah. We would take Oklahoma though.

 

[tometom]

i'm with the folks that would take them, solely because i want to beat them and their shit talking.

even though we aren't discussing it, i do agree that there would be some stipulations. one of which, they should get BTN money the way Nebraska is getting BTN money, not the way Maryland got it.

 

[HuskerinBig10]

Here is what I wrote on Friday, May 6, 2016.

B12 expansion

If I had to take Texas then I would want quite a few stipulations about their membership.

Point 1: No other Texas schools come with them.
Point 2: No special deals because they are Texas. Look what all the special deals got the SWC and the Big 12.
Point 3: They have to wait six years for full B1G Revenue Distribution just like Maryland, Nebraska, and Rutgers did.
Point 4: Texas can keep the LHN, but they get the same deal that Notre Dame has in the ACC, reduced Conference Revenue Distribution, unless they give up the LHN.
Point 5: Must play the first weekend of November in the B1G East or in Minnesota or Wisconsin. The first weekend in November really is not that bad.

Twitter poll has 2 hours left and it actually flipped...56% for and 44% against having them. I'll post either the link or a screenshot here in a bit once the poll is final.
