Yes I'm sure the Manning family, who through their football careers, endorsement deals, and oil holdings are worth hundreds of millions, picked a school for the #1 overall recruit and because of the NIL deal :-) [Reply]

Lol. Okay. That was NEVER going to happen. It sucks that he chose Texas. I was looking forward to seeing them become irrelevant in the SEC after years of pretty much destroying what was the big 12. Manning will make them formidable even in the SEC.
Wait, what year is it? Do you mean from like 15 years ago? :-)
They've been largely irrelevant in the Big 12 since the last time they won it in 2009. [Reply]

Interesting perception (is that the right word?) considering Texas has been irrelevant on the field in the Big 12 for a decade.
If anything it will be the opposite, Mizzou was irrelevant in the ("weak") Big 12 before exiting to the SEC and going to the conference championship 2 out of 3 years. Then obviously fading back into conference mediocrity after losing their coach. [Reply]

Still throbbing? It's been done and over for a decade. [Reply]
