It isn't simple because Texas does NOT own its content as ND did when it


joined the ACC.

ND owned all of the content it brought to the ACC/ESPN. The earliest Texas will own its top tier content is when the Big 12 GoR expires. And any conference network not owned by ESPN will have to give conference content to ESPN/LHN if Texas joins that conference before 2031.

No one is saying it CAN'T happen, but it is not simple and it is not just up to Texas and their new conference. Texas is making and will make lots of money, but they sold a chunk of their flexibility to get it.

ESPN could make it difficult for Texas to join the B1G (like make ESPN whole on the LHN). TAMU could make it difficult to join the SEC; might even be easier for TT to join.

Texas to the PAC 12 or ACC? Then it is much closer to the ND example as you suggest.
