With dispute still raging over “The Eyes of Texas,” the University of Texas band won’t play at the school’s final two home football games against West Virginia and Iowa State.
The band didn’t play at the school’s previous home game against Baylor after several members objected to playing the school’s alma mater with ties to minstrel shows and Confederate Civil War General Robert E. Lee.
School president Jay Hartzell maintained in October that the song would remain the alma mater amid growing controversy as the origins of the song surfaced. The song was played over the stadium’s loudspeakers during the Baylor game in the band’s absence.
Texas dean of the College of Fine Arts Doug Dempster reiterated the school’s stance on Thursday in a statement announcing the band’s status moving forward.
Transgenders: God made them, the devil changed their minds.

Get rid of the ones who refuse to play the school song. Plane and simple.
Side Note: I am sure you can find students who would play the school song. Give those scalar ships to them.

I'm shopping for a new team: I am now whorns down. This gayness and non-sense needs to stop but now I just don't care. I am looking for a new team:
Clemson OK St. Bama ATM
Are my final four who I am now a fan of (In that order). Will make my decision soon and pull hard for my team.
OK St. fans, is OK St. the more conservative school in OK? 0U is the lib school, yes?

Boys the money they get for a “scholarship” is about $1k a year. Bands don’t give full rides, a majority of bands have members that receive no financial aid. Those kids just apply for several different small scholarships. It’s not like they have 85 full rides to offer like football.
