Texas Farewell Tour: Longhorns sacrificing 300-plus games of rivalry for SEC move
The end of the Texas Longhorn football rivalry with TCU, Baylor, Texas Tech, and Houston ends over 300 combined games of rivalry

Texas’ move to the SEC in 2024 will cost the state of Texas a combined 280 games of rivalries between the Longhorns and in-state foes Baylor, TCU, and Texas Tech. Add Houston and the Longhorns are leaving over 300 intrastate rivalry games on the table for greener pastures of the SEC.
