@ORSTFB1 @t5yc4rbfdd @Pac12Central @1BroncoBeliever @kdamp @cougsgo @Beausparks5 @BradJacksonUS In that case it’s no contest.

@BiggThadd_ @TXST4Life @wachzebb @symmering yet again, you're showing how you missed multiple posts.

That's ok, it's twitter. Read up on it, or don't. your call.

[Flint @TheRevSWT]

@StateBy90 @TXST4Life @wachzebb @symmering My god man... the more you type, the more you show you lack basic understanding of how this works.

And it's hilarious that you say "insults won't work here" then show your ass with childlike insults.

Try again. But first, learn a thing or two.

[Flint @TheRevSWT]

@StateBy90 @TXST4Life @wachzebb @symmering My god you are that simple, aren't you?

[Flint @TheRevSWT]

@TXST4Life @wachzebb @symmering Oh and to be clear: I am of the mind that this move was essentially a done deal last year. We need to make the move too. And PAC needed an 8th. It was a good fit.

The move isn’t the issue. The issue is the share because realignment is gonna hit in 2031 again.

[Flint @TheRevSWT]

@TXST4Life @wachzebb @symmering Simple: bobcats bobcat Ted by thumping their chest and saying they aren’t taking less than a full bowl only to fold and take less than a full bowl.

And to be totally fair, this is purely based on current reporting. For all we know, it’s a full share.

[Flint @TheRevSWT]

@TXST4Life @wachzebb @symmering I think there will be grouchy bobcat fans on anything. We win a natty? Oh the parking at UFCU is gonna suck.

That’s why I look at it in a vacuum: I want what’s best for the university. And I don’t spout off saying it’s full bowl or bust.

[Flint @TheRevSWT]

@TXST4Life @wachzebb @symmering Again please stop telling me what my argument is.

My argument is simple: we are playing all sports and should be paid like everyone else. Full stop. You are trying to frame it as something different.

I then explained why the money is important: our budget differentials.

[Flint @TheRevSWT]

@SSN_TexasState @TXST4Life @wachzebb @symmering THIS! We have to be looking beyond this. And that means getting as much as we can as soon as we can.

We bluffed and got caught blinking. To pretend otherwise is just silly.

[Flint @TheRevSWT]

@TXST4Life @wachzebb @symmering And why would I argue against a point you made up in your head?

I could say you probably would have been giddy over us getting no revenue and it’s hard for you to argue until you change that stance.

It’s equally dumb.

[Flint @TheRevSWT]

@TXST4Life @wachzebb @symmering Because they didn’t adjust for budget deficits is why they would adjust for exit penalties? Can you explain that logic to me as it makes no sense.

[Flint @TheRevSWT]

@TXST4Life @wachzebb @symmering How is it short sighted? For the next 5 years (thanks for the correction), we will be at a deficit to the rest of the conference.

I find it comical that you are so concerned about what UTSA and Sun Belt fans think of us, but don't mind the new conference slighting us.

[Flint @TheRevSWT]

@Genetics56 That is honestly..... genius.

And If we aren't automatic bids to the Sugar Bowl, it's a missed opportunity.

[Flint @TheRevSWT]

@TXST4Life @wachzebb @symmering please help me explain your logic:

They have to pay more, so we should get less.
we have a smaller budget, but who cares?

Those are the exact same arguments, but you are on different sides for them.

As I'm sure you'd agree, not our fault we got to pay less to join, right?

[Flint @TheRevSWT]

@TXST4Life @wachzebb @symmering And there's your crutch. you can't see the forest for the trees.

I'm glad to be in the Pac. I think we're in a REALLY unenviable position that puts us behind the 8 ball.

And its a shame all you can think is 'ooh, new shiny"

[Flint @TheRevSWT]

@TXST4Life @wachzebb @symmering We would have been equally competitive with our conference mates.

we're now in a deficit. Honest question: do you not see that? to be competitive, we have to raise our budget. So we're gonna have to do more with less.

Or do you think we'll be fine at the current budget?

[Flint @TheRevSWT]

@TXST4Life @wachzebb @symmering It is on brand to say "yes, I'll take less money and have to add 60%+ to our budget to be amongst our peers" like we did.

It would have been amazing to say "no, we know our worth & it isn't X% share through the contract".

the result: we had a staring contest & we blinked.

[Flint @TheRevSWT]

@TXST4Life @jasonkredline KD said he wanted a full bowl of soup then said he'd take less.

He's right.
