Texas Longhorns get richer

According to multiple sources, Texas stands to increase its TV revenue by $12 million per year thanks to an agreement reached with ESPN to distribute the Longhorn Network on cable systems beginning in the fall of 2011.

The sources said the deal is for 10 years and guarantees Texas $12 million annually on top of the TV revenue UT would receive as part of the Big 12's current television contracts with ABC/ESPN and Fox.

Texas is expected to earn roughly $17 million in 2011-12 and $20 million beginning in 2012-13 just from its portion of the Big 12 television money.

Jaqwaylin Arps  no longer wants to be Red Raider  and has committed to KU.  Wish the young man the best.  Mr Arps has been on the fence since his visit to KU last month. This is makes me concern to loose a defensive recruit of his talent. I  am glad that he informed us now so we can find another defensive player to take his place.  I hate to loose a recruit that potential could have been a differnce maker.
