Seriously, they really wanted some engagement on that post to word it like that

How bout we have zero billionaires on the board? Oil men care about one thing and money is the other. If he’s against it, I’m inclined to think that’s it’s good for the rest of us. Who do you think you pays for the universities and tv money today? That 7 billion will be added to your streaming or cable bill. We pay for it all. What happened to us a society? Why are people no longer viewed for what that are. Oil and casino money is historically super conscientious of others, amirite. You don’t overpay for players like cattle and then cry you’re just looking out for others. Like most billionaires, he helped create a problem so that he can fix it. The very worst thing that could happen to college football did by letting billionaires in. They’ve always been around but there were some rules and certainly not the sums and power being thrown around today. https://collegefootballnetwork.com/who-is-billionaire-cody-campbell/ He is a billionaire multi times over. He could literally set up an endowment that would cover all schools and their Olympics sports without any real impact to his overall wealth or lifestyle so wholly miss me with this is for kids or public. Was giving government more power to help the people? On the board that says if you don’t have my views, you don’t get money. https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeltnietzel/2025/06/23/texas-governor-signs-bill-that-throttles-public-university-senates/ https://www.texastribune.org/2025/06/19/texas-legislature-higher-ed-lege-recap/ https://www.kvue.com/article/news/politics/texas-legislature/texas-house-gives-initial-approval-bill-reshape-higher-education-courses/269-0babb10e-6588-434b-93a3-e2a16d77d98c Your political side shouldn’t matter. These are power grabs and they’re happening everywhere. It’s really discouraging that you gave him this medium. Of course he wants to discuss it. I guess owning the education side isn’t enough. Now he wants the sports. That was also 3 seconds on Google without looking into it more.

I don’t think it’s about being an apologist but more about why get all worked up over them. They have a right to compete and elevate their program the best they can. I certainly respect them more than aggy.

Former Texas Longhorn transfer DT is no longer at LSU 🤣 noooooo, LSU DT is no longer at LSU. Fixed it.

The fix will necessarily include separation between the higher level football programs and those who aren't. The question is how many can truly compete in a real market. Those who argue the traditions must be maintained have already lost. That crumbled in 2021. The argument that CFB fans would go away has already been disproven.

I’ll need Campbell and you I suppose to explain what exactly is broken.

I was referring to the Army coach.

i was just thinking about him on the drive home. sad to hear.

That’s fair. I just want college sports “fixed”. We just have to define and agree upon what “fixed” is before taking action.

Create problems that don’t exist so you can buy legislation to “fix” it. Classic playbook from that side.

Complete L between the eyes.

No you’re not an apologist. That was some others. But the Campbell media blitz is definitely propaganda. Can’t watch a single CFB game without his stupid commercials being shoved down my throat. And now it’s here.

Some people just want to watch the world burn (Alfred Batman accent)… or just read these threads, always entertaining

Hope you’re not calling me a Tech apologist or what I wrote propaganda. I’m definitely not the former and as for the latter, I specifically mentioned I’m not pro-Campbell.

I find this whole discussion fascinating. My take is that I like a lot of what Campbell is after. But with certain conditions applied, including the idea that certain teams/schools or conferences are worth more to any consortium.

He's positioning his school to be at the big kids table next go round. I get that. I just don't want to play that school unless it's in the postseason. We haven't scheduled any Big 12 schools in football since we left, I support that informal boycott. If we're waiting on the feds to make changes, that's lol and a non partisan lol. Washington has full blown aids all around. The Tech apologist thing is quite odd. Let's get the SWC back together!

Yeah it’s pretty wild. Blew my mind actually.

It's definitely very odd.

I haven't seen the clip. I didn't have to see it before commenting because I dislike the man so much. Maybe someone else kept it. Hook 'Em!

Damn. At this point in the season, that can’t be good.

I didn’t know there were Tech apologists on this board. That’s even more gross than the Cody Campbell propaganda posted.

There has also been an increase in NFL viewership. It would be very interesting to see how revenue sharing would work. There would certainly have to be tiers or something similar. There is a significant discrepancy in viewership between Texas and Texas St. There can’t be an NFL style equal sharing arrangement. So what is required to provide stability to other sports and schools with fewer viewers. Would we accept a 10% increase in revenue while Tech makes 12% for stability purposes?

I hate hearing that. I don’t like seeing guys squander their opportunities. Just a waste.

Poor kid. All the talent in the world
