I don't really get what your point is.

How many quality games does Texas have in Austin? I'm talking about rivalry games that the fans really show up for? Or games against perennial powers that might not inspire acrimony, but they certainly get the fans fired up? The non-conference games are great, but you can't play a ton of them every single year.

The Oklahoma game is in Dallas where it should be, but the Austin slate is not what they were used to for several years.

When Del Conte was interviewed last year, he certainly seemed to be the more eager to play A&M again. I can understand why because every team coming through Austin...and I'm talking about the conference slate here, the games that make up the bulk of the home schedule...is considered a middle or lower tier brand.

Texas Tech, Baylor, TCU, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, and West Virginia

How many of those games fire up the average Texas fan?

And this is exactly why Texas needs to be in a better conference and the networks need to push for it. Tell Texas they'll be paid a lot more if they join a better conference and they won't be getting a lot if they stay with a bunch of "middle or lower tier brand"s.
