Longhorns are probably expecting to schedule 12 home games.

They'd probably give, for political cover, all the (non aggy) Texas D1 schools annual home and home games, keep the OU game neutral and try to set up an annual rivalry game with Notre Dame. That covers 8 games 3 or 4 at home and one neutral. Line up four payday games, and they'd have 7-8 home games. Only 2-3 anyone outside of Texas would care about (and that's provided texas is any good), but UT is just arrogant enough to think that having UT-ND and UT-OU on the LHN every other year along with a steady stream of UT-Rice, UT-Tech and UT-UNLV would force it onto cable boxes in Seattle or Boston.

They don't feel their brand has benefitted or grown? Maybe not because they are Nebraska and they can't get away with putting the special scholars on the field that they used to, but at least they won't go down on the sinking Big 12 ship. That has to count for something. Women go back to the men who abuse them and Nebraska wants to bend over for Texas again. Between that and Florida just now realizing that a hurricane is heading straight for them, I'm starting to question "higher" education.

And here's Texas and Tech welcoming The Corn back.
