Big 12 taking legal action against Texas Tech
Realist Horn replied to Hank South's topic in On Texas Football Forum
What's better is that Tech is paying 1/16th of the legal fees to go against itself (or it comes out of their share) -

If you’re asking about budgets because you think Texas is getting out‑spent for elite talent, that’s not what’s happening. Texas is already in the $3.5M–$4M softball‑budget range, which puts them ahead of almost everyone not named Oklahoma. So this isn’t a “Texas can’t keep up financially” issue. What Mike does is different: he doesn’t panic‑shop the portal or chase every 5‑star just to win a headline. His whole model is development, fit, and long‑term roster stability, then using the portal only to plug specific needs. Other programs are out there throwing offers at anything that moves - Texas doesn’t need to operate that way. So if the question is “budget vs. elite talent,” the answer is simple: Texas has the budget. Texas has the talent. Texas just doesn’t recruit like a desperate program. Back‑to‑back titles say the approach works.
