Dave Campbell's Texas Football surveyed over 360 Texas high school football coaches about various topics, including their thoughts on the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners leaving the Big 12 for the SEC.

It's Crap!

No thoughts

Don't like it

good for them

AA

No!

Not cool, will ruin Big 12

Good business move

Good move

Cool

good luck in the SEC

Doesnt change much to me

Not in favor of it, but understand the reasoning

Great Move

Bound to happen with NIL - will only increase with a super conference of have vs have nots

not good for college football

Greedy

I don't blame them, its about money and competition

Don't do it

Good for them

None

not good

I don't like it. I'm going to miss the Big 12.

Don't care

looks like a good thing - will make for some awesome rivalries moving forward

EXCITING

It happens. Money drives everything

go ahead

N/A

Sure. They know where the money is.

Awesome

Love it

good.

Good for them

More exposure but keeps the red river game going!

Don't Care

Good for them, bad for the college football

Good for SEC

Against it

Wished they would not

Will destroy the Big 12, Texas will never win the conference

None

Don't care

Love it, brilliant business move.

Don't care

Sad to see, but understand the reason

It was going to happen at some point.

It sucks, it will degrade or destroy a Texas based conference

Who gives a crap!

Bad for the state, Good for their pocket books.

College football is all about money, and that's what this move is all about. Will be good to see Texas and A&M back together again. This move sets the stage for the top 64 teams to break away from the NCAA.

That is what is best for their kids and their universities

don't like

Money talks

I don't like it. SEC is too big. Everyone is going to be SEC. They still going to have to divide them some how.

don't know enough of the information to have an informed decision. I do like UT-A&M playing again.

I thinks its good

Texas cannot handle their own business so they destroy conferences in the process.

Love It

don't let the door hit them in the a**

I love it; go to 4 Super Conferences, 12 team playoff, 2 automatic qualifiers from non-Super Conferences

Love it, makes them have to compete with better are similar programs

Not good

I think it would be great for the state of Texas

Not Good

All about the money

Great for SEC

Bad for college football and we are going to lose all of the texas regional matchups

Went due to recruiting, money, heightened national stage-good with it

indifferent

Bad for college football…don’t like mega conferences

Texas has money but a bloated opinion of themselves, OU should be able to compete. Big 12 is done without them.

Hurts Big 12 football but benefits college football

Don't care

I think its good

To each their own.

Hate it. Not a fan

Doesn’t matter to me

Takes money to make money, if you have it you are a power broker in a money industry.

NA

I think it's a good thing. We get to see UT and A&M go at it all the while seeing if they can hang in the SEC. Recruits will also be more likely to choose UT.

If it keeps more Texas kids in Texas, I like it

I have none

Great for Saturday afternoons for college football fans.

Disappointing

Takes money to make money, if you have it you are a power broker in a money industry.

bad

don't care

Get it on

I hate it

Good for them and great for college football. Bad for the others in the big 12

Good for them

Great

Regardless the major universities are all going to leave the NCAA eventually and form their own association.

Saw it Coming

Ok

Not good! Lessens their power. Money will be great, prestige will suffer. Probably opposite of what they think. Because they are in the Big 12 it has given them a better chance to get to the playoff. They will suffer by changing conferences just like Nebraska, Colorado and others have.

Don’t care

They need to stay in the Big 12

Indifferent

Love it

I think that it is terrible for College football. The conference will dissolve, the power of balance of the SEC and ESPN will ruin what is left of college football. There is no purity in the sport anymore and the ideas of team, commitment, and staying in the face of adversity will be pantheons of the past. The idea of the rich get richer is going to be prevalent in all things now with money being the driving factor of all decisions. Cheating will be rampant and the sport will forever be changed in a negative way.

Leaving the top of the conference to be mediocre doesn’t make much sense

It will not be good for the remaining schools of the Big 12

Stupid

Be careful what you wish for. If they had been better stewards of the Big 12, maybe they wouldn't need to leave for greener pastures

unfortunate

It was inevitable

Don't care

A little surprising but considering the Big XII has been only 10 teams for so long, I think UT & OU being the biggest names in the conference have outgrown the conference at this point and need to move on.

Not happy

It is all about MONEY

No thoughts

For It

Dont like it

Its was and is gonna happen

SEC SEC SEC

It will bring back A&M and Texas rivalry .... lets gooo

Go for it

Money talks

Good move for them

Great

Hate to see it happen, but best move for both.

Thumbs Up

It will be good for Oklahoma and bad for Texas

Good decision

I like it

CFB is positioning itself to be a major league system for the NFL. I think a super conference is on the way, which will be like AAA ball or the 40 man roster in MLB.

Nice

great

I'm good with it.

I think it’s good

Fine with it

Who cares

College Football is changing,, it always does

Not good

Good

Like to see it happen or A&M come back

It happens. Money drives everything

it's a good move. The Big 12 had a chance to grow their conference to a Mega Conference and decided against it (I don't know all details)

All about money

LOVE IT

Indifferent

Good move for them, but bad for the rest of the Big 12

Not good

Surprises me

Who cares?!

It happens. Money drives everything

bring back the old SWC - but this will help both

Disappointing

Hate it but understand it. Thrilled that it bothers A&M.

Will be a good move to a better conference

Surprised, upset, understand

should not move

Good

Don’t like it

Not good for the teams left behind. The Era of Super conferences is coming

Hate it

If your going to be Dumb you better be Tough!!

Don't leave

The end of the Big 12

Great--- They are going get crushed!

dont care

Good for College Football

Very displeased

Excited about it

no comment

I am worried that all the biggest brands are in the same conference.

Good move for them

Hate it for the Big 12

Great

I dont see the benefit.

Good for them, don’t think it improves their odds of playing for a natty though.

It is about money.

Everybody does what they think is best for them. Good Luck!

Honestly I do not have a strong opinion either way

Hate it

Good for SEC, bad for Texas.

OH Well

Don't like it

Its going to get interesting in college football.

I get why they did it. However, I'm not sure it will be good for college football as a whole.

They should stay in Big 12

Like the change, it will be fun to watch Texas and Okie compete in the SEC

Who give a crap..

$$$$

wish conferences remained regional

minimal

Bye

Love it

Really not a big deal! College football has changed so much! It is a business now! We have free agents now and paying players about who has the money has taken it over.

Not a fan

Whats the point in a national championship? SEC Champs....Champs

I like it

No comment

It's a good move for their respective schools.

Don't like it.

Against

Don't like it

Against

I believe it is best for both university but hare on the rest of the conf.

Bad for Big 12

Fine by me

I don't like it.

No-we’ll see how the next 10 years fairs for them ??

Awful

NONE

Not a good move. Interesting to see what's going to happen to the Big 12

Doesn't matter to me

Bad for CFB

The first of many changes. This will begin the super conference movement. They were smart to be proactive.

I think it’s a bad idea

Great

All good

Money moves the needle, if you think that move is about anything other than money your crazy

The death of the Big 12.

Money talks, ironic UT money is what drove A&M out and 10 years later and UT is following for the same reason

It was only a matter of time

I like it

Can’t wait for aTm vs UT

Excited about it

Bad

Excited

Who cares?

Hurts big 12

Pathetic

They make choices that are best for them. Looks like they made a good one.

Not good for the Big 12.

I think it is necessary… over the years the SEC has been talked up so much in the media that the recruiting has been really tilted to the SECs favor. I’m all for blue bloods battle it out every year. Hoping for a more expansive playoff system in the near future.

DI football will split into 3 categories soon. Semi Pro, DI BCS DI FCS

It makes the Big 12 extremely weak

Love it

Crushes the Big 12. Money has become to much and they could just add Houston and SMU and do just fine. They will find themselves just a above 500 team and struggle to get into the play-off system.

Love it

Good and bad. Eventually good and good for recruiting and money. Tough early on because both programs are used to winning a lot of games a year and it may drop to 6-7 a year.

I think its good for those programs

Amazing News

Its going to kill the Big 12, but hopefully will renew the A&M vs Texas rivalry.

Good for them

I am all for it.

Business is Business

I don't have a strong opinion

Great for the SEC, better recruitment for both Texas and Oklahoma

Their choice

Same as kids entering the portal

Great

It is good for those two schools. I think it could dis-band the Big XII

Dont like it

It's a bad sign for the direction of college football

Politics and ESPN

For the state of Texas I hate it. I wish we could go back to an old Southwest Conference

don't like

Great for Texas HS Football kids

Good for the state

Tougher road to CFP

was inevitable, Money talks and BS walks... It will cause a greater divide between the have's and have not's. Also, NIL, and portal will play a huge role in this, smaller schools won't be able to compete, kids will go where the can be paid the most by boosters and once you become a star at a UofH or LaTech, you will be able to bounce over to LSU or Texas for a higher price. It's about to turn into the wild west.

I think it’s selfish and based on nothing but money.

OU.... chance to get into the playoff and not play the SEC.... UT--- continue to be average

Not interested

Think they have to in order to have a chance at a national championship and get 5 star recruits

Dumb for Texas. They won’t win

Disappointed but get it. The game is changing

neutral

One bad game in the SEC and you are done.

No Opinion

Bad for college football

Good for them

Don't Care

I think it’s selfish and based on nothing but money.

I like it.

I like it

I wish we had the SWC and keep High school recruits in state.

none

Everything comes back to money. Everything.

chase $

Not good for Texas football as a whole

It is what it is

I HATE IT!!!

Not any

Beginning of super conferences and diminishing of the NCAA power

Money talks

Hate it

Don't matter

Don't care

Hate it

No thoughts

It was bound to happen, they were carrying the whole conference.

Its all about the money

Will be nice to see them compete with other schools.

great

Cool

Disappointed but understand

Bad move.

Be careful what you wish for!

Let's Go - A&M v Texas again

Great

Good for them

It’s all about the $$$.

None

Bull crap

Good for them

No opinion

Bad for college football and we are going to lose all of the texas regional matchups

I don't think it is good for the big 12 to break apart

Don't like it

Great move.

Who cares

will hurt big 12

good for them

Annoying

Good for them

It's all about the money.

Don't like the "conference hopping" but the cat is already out of the bag.

Its not good for the rest of the Texas schools

Hate it

Love it

Texas ruined the BIG12 with the Longhorn network and high tailed it to the SEC.

I’m happy that Texas A&M and UT will play again but I think it will change major college football greatly into bigger super conferences.

$

I think it comes down to Money

Not surprised

It's just part of the world we are living in now.

Great move!

Happy

Good for them

Don't like it - wanted the Big 12 to stay BIG, but money has destroyed it

Better competition

Not surprised. Excited to see what happens within the SEC.

Follow the money---It is all about the money

It will change the college landscape. The rich will get richer and the poor will stay poor.

Kills the Big 12

Not good

One constant is change- I miss the SWC

Don't like it!

Great for Texas and Oklahoma and great for college football fans.

none could care less

Terrible, we need those schools to stay in the conference. Texas can't compete in the SEC

The Big 12 may be about to become irrelevant.

NA

Was only a matter of time

Don't have one

Don't like it.

Cool

Bad for the game

It was just a matter of time. Money talks.

I think it's great.

Finally got as smart as the Aggies

Sucks

Go to the SEC

Should go ahead and just eliminate conferences all together, because all relevant teams are going to be in the same conference anyway.

I love it. The Big 12 has turned into a basketball conference priority. They have abandoned football.

Love it

Good for them. Doesn’t make much sense from a competitive nature for Texas. They are having a hard time winning in Big 12.

Not good for the state.

I would like them to create and develop the old Southwest Conference

They are SOFT

Think it's a great move.

DON'T CARE

Not a huge fan of it, but it is inevitable

its ok

I will miss the Big 12 but I get it. It's a good move for them and It'll be good football.

idc

I do not think it is good for the Big 12 but I understand why they did.

Hate it
