[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to highjack this thread, but Texas moving to the SEC is huge.  "The UT athletic department is a self-sustaining operation. No public money is used for any aspect of UT athletics.'' And in total, specific to the football program, the University of Texas has $41.8 million in expenses (quite a budget) but $146.8 million in football revenue. And that profit of almost $105 million is the financial foundation for all other programs in the athletic department.[/quote]

Agree.

Texas & the University of Oklahoma is even more newsworthy. Within the past few years, the Big Ten wanted Texas but not its biggest traditional rival Oklahoma. The SEC agreed to take both schools.

Oklahoma's football program has been very successful from a financial viewpoint:

Based on 2019-2020 college football revenue, Oklahoma was # 1 followed by #2 Texas.[/quote]
