Beyond Football
While football is king in Texas, it’s not the only contributor to the Longhorn empire. Sports like baseball, volleyball, basketball, swimming, and track and field also contribute massively to the school’s content portfolio. Women’s sports, in particular, have seen a dramatic rise in viewership and digital support thanks to UT’s inclusive and comprehensive media approach.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Texas didn’t just edge past the competition — it dominated. A nearly $10 million gap between Texas and Ohio State is not easy to ignore. These are figures that corporate sponsors, media networks, and athletic recruits pay attention to.
This kind of visibility can also help in negotiations for broadcasting rights, event sponsorships, and national platform partnerships.
