Over half the members refused to play "the eyes of Texas" at the Baylor game this weekend because of it alleged racist past... Longhorn Band Won't PlayIf you ask me, it's for the better... it sounds like hell anyways.

Are they on scholarship? Take that away and show them actions have repercussions.

Austin folks.
I'm sure most are on scholarship. Easy fix if those in power at UT have stainless ball bearings.
Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools won't heed it.

There should be something in the scholarship outlining their participation. The board is weak, coaches are weak, the dean is a tranny.. just a complete joke.

In the defense of people that actually have a little bit of sense, how does “the eyes of texas are upon you” reflect racism?

What are they going to replace it with? Something that sounds like a tennis shoe in a dryer I suppose, so not to offend anyone.

Don't hold your breath aggies this Shet isn't stopping it's spreading like wildfire and they will find something that happened in aggieland 100 years ago that we wouldn't do today and they will not let go till they get their way.

someone should stand up and start pulling scholarships, of band members and football players I don't care how good you are, and let them know you are their on the states dime and you will do as told, if you don't like that go home and go to community college.
