Burnt Orange Nation, a Texas Longhorns community

Remember where you saw this first in 20 years when college football is extinct. Now mind you I'm no lawyer, but I am fairly certain that if this goes to trial and the judge awards settlement for the player over the school there will be some serious risk management discussions concerning the cost-benefit of having a football team. Smaller schools will go first but eventually, if this sets a precedent, every "walk on" in America will eventually take down even the grandest of houses, Belmont Hall. I hope it doesn't happen but I'm just sayin' this could be the beginning of the end. What do you think?

I'm not much into posting Fan Shots, but here's a Fan Shot.

Horns gain .0002, TCU gains .0014. Safe to say TCU is pretty much in need of a Texas loss or losses by both SEC contenders.

Polls are out, Horns still #2. Somehow Oklahoma is not ranked despite only losing four games by a total of 12 points.
