Nebraska went to the Big 10 (Maryland and Rutgers hadn't joined yet), Colorado went to the Pac 12 and everyone thought the Big 12 was collapsing.
Everybody thought Texas, OU, A&M, and Ok State to the PAC was done. Texas had negotiated the deal. It was ever reported by Texas sources as a done deal.
But A&M said no. We intended to go with the SEC offer. Texas didn’t want the SEC, but didn’t want A&M in the SEC without them. So they offered what seemed like a good deal at the time for A&M to stay in the Big 12. We agreed, but the SEC itch was started. When the LHN started with the plans to broadcast high school games, A&M called bullshite, had had enough, and called the SEC back.

All they had to do was simply call it the Lone Star network where they show UT A&M and other Tx college games along with HS FB.
That makes too much sense though and UT is greedy.
