Texas Tech vs UVA NC game had more more viewers than Game 5 & 6 of the NBA finals?
It's glorious being a tagalong political parasite while our haters sit at home.

Final numbers are in for Game 6: 18.3 million viewers, a smidgen over the 18.2M ABC averaged for Game 5. A rare year in which the deciding game of the NBA Finals didn't out-deliver the linear TV ratings for the NCAA hoops title tilt—Texas Tech-UVA averaged 19.6M viewers on CBS
Texas Tech is the #1 headline in the country and this website is proof of it — there are more threads discussing Texas Tech than any other school.
All the above is true, but football hasn’t started yet. It will be interesting to see how Wells does there.

Texas Tech isn't worthy of a Power Conference invite without riding the coattails of UT.
Texas Tech played for a NC vs Virginia in basketball.
Texas Tech won a Men's T&F National Championship last weekend in Austin.
Texas Tech is the only Texas school playing for national title in baseball.
Wells better fix the football program fast. Our haters base everything on football success despite their lack of success.

Baseball and track are where all the money is in college sports.
That's why Fresno State and Pepperdine were invited to join the Pac-12 immediately after they won national titles in baseball. Of course, they turned the Pac down to accept their offers from the SEC.

Typo on the T&F.
I get it. No one cares about Texas Tech.
I guess lowly Texas Tech should close shop so I don't make anyone mad.
OT:: Watching Texas Tech beat Rodgers in the Holiday Bowl was awesome.

LOL, that wasn't yesterday. That was 15 years ago. You're saying you devotedly watched that game when you were in elementary school and that you were a huge fan of every Texas Tech sport way back then?
By the way, does Texas Tech not have any message boards for its fans?

Texas Tech, Umass, Georgia State, and the Dakota Four are clearly the most popular schools in the country
If winning basketball championships was the golden ticket to keep power status or get one then ask UConn how winning four national championships in 15 years helped them get a spot in the ACC. Blue blood Kansas which just won a NC two years prior was going to be left behind in the Big XII in June 2010 and was ready to go to the Big East.
Rice, Fresno State, Cal State-Fullerton and Coastal Carolina have won the CWS this century and they’re still outside the P5.
Winning is good and you should be proud of Texas Tech having a great spring. But at the end of the day realignment is based in football and whether it’s fair or not, your alma mater’s fate as a power school is tied to Bevo and just to be clear I’m not picking on Tech (I’m indifferent about the school) the same applies to TCU and Baylor.

Yes, there are some exceptions - the ACC grabbed Syracuse and Pitt and the B1G grabbed Rutgers and Maryland as part of a gold rush for markets in the Northeast Corridor.
But other than that, which given the changing nature of cable television probably won't be repeated, it is football power that drives P5 desirability and security.
And it applies to other things as well. E.g., Syracuse, an A-level basketball brand with some very bright spots in its football pedigree, was just told by apparel companies that because it isn't a big football brand name it couldn't expect to command big apparel money.

That is quite an assumption to assume I was devotedly watching the Holiday Bowl in elementary school. How do you know my age?
Yes, Tech has message boards and I've tried to get a few to join. They respectfully declined after reading all the "Tech sucks, Tech doesn't belong in the Big 12, Tech is political parasite" posts on this site.

Some think Kansas is valuable in realignment talks because of basketball.

Because it’s a blue blood and an AAU school. But even those two were not a guarantee for them back in 2010.

Wells better fix the football program fast. Our haters base everything on football success despite their lack of success.
Umm yeah, at the risk of starting a thread closing flame war, everything Tech has ever done to turn heads nationally in the major sports has come since the creation of the Big 12 with the exception of James Dickey's flash in the pan '96 basketball team (I'll also grant you Sheryl Swoopes' championship women's team). Like 20% of all original BCS schools, Tech was built by simply being associated with the Big Boys.
Heard on sports radio this morning these ratings and the new vet school. Texas Tech is water cooler talk nationwide!

You have to start somewhere and it's nice being a relevant member of a power conference. It's fun playing meaningful postseason games while others sit at home.
If Matt Wells can fix the football mess created 9 years ago, the South Plains of Lubbock will be rocking.
My (last) point is that Tech wouldn't be what it is without the creation of the power structure and being on the right side of it. They'd likely be an MWC level program and school without it. Indeed, at the time, it was arguable Tech did not belong on the Inside. Anything that has happened since is irrelevant as each team on the inside of the power structure will have a great season from time to time at worst. Tech (and even Houston basketball to be fair) is a flash in the pan until they do it consistently. They did not dominate the season, so any one of about 15 teams could have been expected to make the national title game.

You said you didn't want to start a flame war and then completely crap all over my alma mater saying we'd be at MWC level if not for a Big 12 invite.
Tech made the cut because football, basketball and baseball were doing decent at that time in the early 90's. We had better attendance and we had a more engaged alumni base. I'm sorry UH didn't make the cut but your comments should be directed at Baylor and TCU, not Tech.
If you don't like me pointing out the success Tech is having right now you can choose to not read it. It isn't Tech's fault UH got relegated to G5 status.
Umm, yes MWC level, what were the SWC refugees without the Big Bowl money? MWC (WAC) level programs or worse.
I didn't even bring up that Tech cheated at that time to inflate its stature nor the other obvious elephant in the room. Without the Big 12, Tech may equal Cincinnati minus the Big East years (not so much on the court).
