Thank God. CDC needs to retire in that seat.

Love how the Big 12 blames Texas for destroying their crappy conference, but then play political games like floating Del Conte's name out there. Just a petty group of schools.

Cody Campbell thinks he runs the Big 12. Who would want to be part of that?

Chrid DelConte when he heard this rumor.

He wants to stay at UT long enough to get that big three sport natty monkey off his back. Salute to him for that.

CDC heard Big 12 commissioner and immediately checked his spam folder - probably thought it was a prank call.

That's like asking the guy who escaped prison if he'd like to come back and run the place. 😂

He gone

My friend nailed it.

In other words they asked him to trade in his Lamborghini for a Honda Civic

F-ing nobody lol

Big 12 or any conference or any AD opening would have to have him in top 3.

I hope he loves us as much as we love him and will keep having fun and be challenged to stick around for a long time.

He's just not into you girl, accept it.

Vince McMahon is available

Cody is going to try and money whip CDC and unlike NIL there’s no cap on commissioner’s salaries.

Cody Campbell looking like a stalkerish ex not taking the rejection well

Our leader from the top rope back to Cody

I am not a fan of the guy but he is perfecting the art of getting under the skin of Longhorn twitter. Nearly certain he is fishing for reactions with that tweet

I had no freaking clue this was even a rumor until I saw Bobby's tweet lol

CDC needs a raise. Give it to him.

Why the hell would anyone want to go from the most successful Athletic Department in the nation since he took over to go to what has become a complete joke of a league that will probably be in a lower division in a few years. CDC literally has a chance to create a legacy of being the most successful AD in history (not just UT history) and live in Austin where he has more resources than anyone else in the nation! The Big 12 has to be the most delusional conference in the NCAA. They literally have no self awareness and are the absolute worst conference at strategic planning for the future. They were so stupid that they literally pushed out their two cash cows and only remaining blue bloods that gave their conference legitimacy.

I was so happy to get out of the little 12.

I’m wondering if Cody boy is just trolling and trying to ruffle Texas fans up.

In what way did the Big 12 push out Texas and OU? There wasn't going to be anything to keep them. The only thing that could have kept Texas in the Big 12 were legitimate threats to expand the PUF to other state school systems like Texas Tech, Texas State, and UH. Which was successfully used as a threat against Texas and A&M to force them to take Tech and Baylor with them to the Big 12 in the first place. But Chairman of the BOR, Kevin Eltife, a former state senator, navigated around that possibility by negotiating in secret with the SEC. By the time the news got out - broken by an A&M friendly reporter at the Chronicle when the Aggies finally discovered the negotiations had been happening behind their back - it was too late. The state legislature wasn't in session, and Texas ex governor Abbot, who colluded with Eltife, wasn't about to call for a special session.

But there was literally nothing the Big 12 could do. At the end of the day there weren't enough television sets, and the athletic departments were too small and underfunded. Similar to what happened to the SWC.

It was a long time brewing. Everything we tried to do to make the league more profitable they fought us an OU. We tried to start a Big 12 network and were laughed out of the room. Texas and OU tried to prevent them from watering down the league with mid-majors and we got over ruled by the little thinking 12. We tried to go big game hunting to be proactive and get other teams in the Big 12, but were stumped by the little minded idiots in our league that went out and got teams that watered down our product. Then at every turn the league made rulings and decisions that were literally detrimental to OU and Texas. The Big 12 would purposefully do things to diminish Texas and OU and the relationship between us and the rest of the league was very adversarial.

The demise of the Big 12 was nothing like what happened to the SWC. The SWC was the SEC back in the day. Then SMU got the death penalty and half the league got hit with massive sanctions. That is when all the Texas kids started leaving the state. The SWC never recovered from the SMU death penalty and sanctions against others like TCU and ATM.
