Good article linked on UT's POV on expansion, read tweets after article too


UT sources indicated Wednesday that while administrators didn’t undergo a change of heart about expansion this week, they went from “open and skeptical” to “open and less skeptical.” For those pushing for expansion, that might be enough.

But one thing that isn’t on the table so far is extending the grant-of-rights clause — the one Dodds relented on in 2012 — past its current end date of 2025. UT values the flexibility to consider other options at that time, and there is no clear reason for the school to pledge its revenue to the Big 12 beyond the current time frame.

On this, sources said, the Longhorns probably won’t budge.

Then again, we've heard that before**

Me: His tweets were more strongly worded:

From everything I'm hearing today, Texas is absolutely not any closer to agreeing to extending Big 12 grant of rights. No reason to do so.

Extending the GOR and expansion are not contingent upon each other. The latter appears more likely.

To be clear, Texas has not voted to expand. It voted to let Bowlsby contact candidates, who will each need 8 votes.
