Where people want to raise their families depends on the person. I'm sure there are plenty of folks who consider Austin a pinko librul hell hole.Friend of mine in Baton Rouge mentioned this to me Friday. If you have been to Tuscaloosa and Austin where would you rather raise your family? Austin hands down.

Besides, Saban's in his sixties. His kids are grown. Why leave a team in the top conference with the most rabid redneck degenerate fan base in the country to put out a dumpster fire in the Big whatever?
You forgot to underline the T in Texas. Underlining fail.Texas is not just losing on the field. Texas is losing the much bigger PR battle. Badly.
I don't disagree about the Oklahoma schools bolting. The Longhorn Network was completely marginallized when A&M left and has been a disaster. However, Texas will be ok when they go hat in hand to the PAC 12.Hiring anyone less than the status of Saban or Gruden will be another big blow to U-Texas "brand."
IMO, OK & OKST are the SEC's next to key targets.
If the SEC gets OK & OKST, it will have an ENORMOUSLY NEGATIVE impact on the future of the U-Texas program.
Inside sources close to the situation tell me Gruden is already in Austin putting together the next Longhorn coaching staff.
I would love to get Penn St but I just don't see them leaving the B10. I also think Texas is more likely to join the ACC than PAC 12 especially if they can talk ND into joining full time.Would it ever be possible if Texas went to the Pac 12 for Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU, and Baylor to come to the ACC? Oklahoma State is obviously going to be severely downgraded because of the current scandal. Any combination?
Or do we just wait for Notre Dame to come around and try to steal Penn State and that's it?

Texas makes more money at football than Alabama.Alabama could offer $20 million without blinking. It's NFL caliber money intake without a single contract to hand a player.
Not with Louisville.1. ACC = Big Brain Conference
