For the last ten years, Burton has acted as partner and publisher of Horns24/7.Notable for his recruiting insight, Burton has been called upon as an expert guest or columnist by the likes of ESPN, Fox, CBS, and The Sporting News

We're determined to bring our audience elite coverage of one of the marquee sports teams, world-wide. Bobby, just as we all are, is committed to providing the best information to the fans who follow their beloved program with unmatched passion. The team here is ecstatic and anxious to learn from one of the best."

On Monday November 16th, Nahlin announced a recapitalization of Inside Texas, and a new ownership team. The longest operating independent University of Texas news service, Inside Texas premiered in 1985. Nahlin and the new investor group became IT's third owner in its 35 years of service. Known as a safe, anonymous place for insiders to share information, Inside Texas is well known for pseudonyms to protect the identity of its sources.

"Bobby is one of the two or three most successful people in our profession. Rest assured; the future of Inside Texas is in great hands with the team we've assembled."

"Eric Nahlin, Gerry Hamilton, Justin Wells, Paul Wadlington, Ian Boyd, and Joe Cook, are an all-star team, hands down. I'm honored to join, and really excited about our prospects, just as I'm excited about the future of Longhorn sports," Burton finished.
