Just announced by Dan Patrick office…

”Texas University will not be allowed to leave the Big XII. A compromise might be reached that would allow them to leave, if they agree to drop the word “Texas” from the name.”

The Board of Regents, the governing body for The University of Texas System, is composed of nine members who are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate.
These guys are the ones who vote on the deal. Dan is doing this to gain their attention. The fat lady has not even gotten up to sing yet.
