[QUOTE="Charleston Mountie, post: 129581023, member: 1427666"] You are quite correct in your assessment of some of the things that Texas has done and much of that has been on the shoulders of their fans, who are some of the best in the country, but there have been times when the administration at Texas has been less than forward thinking. The LHN is a critical example of the negative side of Texas. The 15 million dollars sounds like a lot to most school but not to Texas. It is pocket change to them, but what that network represents is a hold on the high schools of Texas and a significant investment in pride. They call it branding but it is pretty much just their ego on the airwaves. The money means next to nothing to Texas and they could easily have folded it into a Big12N and lost nothing of value to their checking account but it would have hit their ago stash a sharp blow. I can't blame Texas one bit for looking out for their institution, but never forget, the only Texas will ever help someone else is when it helps them. If not helping others helps them they will do that first too and care not one bit about any scrapped feeling or bruised egos. [/QUOTE]
