[QUOTE="steeleer, post: 129600973, member: 1484359"] It sounds like OU is 100% behind expansion. Boren can't think a network is just going to give us a huge bump in pay for expansion [I]and[/I] a CCG and not expect an updated/extended GOR in exchange. Texas is likely not behind this, but the other ADs aren't stupid. They know what will happen in 10 years if Texas doesn't buy in on this. Texas' refusal to sign on will send [I]everyone [/I]packing, which will destabilize everything with no assurance than any conference will take Texas plus the other schools they are stuck bringing with them (TTech, likely Baylor) on short notice with the LHN being a deal breaker for the ACC and Pac12 in the very recent past. Texas' best move would be to sign and wait for the someone to contest the GOR at some date (someone will). Then a "buy out" will be established (buy out = damages to the network in question) and then Texas can decide if it's worth it to leave. My guess is that within the next 10 years, the P5 teams will leave the NCAA and keep all the BBall tourney money and playoff money for themselves. They will negotiate with the networks as a singular entity like the NFL and then the carousel stops turning finally. Then they will reorganize the teams based on geography because everyone will be making the same amount of money. [/QUOTE]
