The Longhorns finished in last place in the Big 12 South last season, but despite that, the Longhorns have been a major topic of discussion at Big 12 media days. The Longhorn Network has been the main focus.
Set to launch on August 26, the $300 million collaboration between Texas and ESPN has raised concerns about the fairness of the deal, especially the advantage Texas may have over other universities in the recruiting process.
Only time will tell what has, up to now, only been speculated about. The effects of the Longhorn network will be seen soon enough.
