re: Expanding the Conference Again

Bow Tie-
Its a fair question, but t.u. has painted itself into a corner. They cannot and will not go to another conference for the following reasons:

1) ESPN gave them a truck load of $$ for the LHN and tu CANNOT cancel it without apocalyptic financial consequences.
2) The SEC will not let them join if they insist on keeping the LHN.
3) Texas A&M (karma's a bitch) will roll their black ball to vote against their inclusion.
4) SEC does not need or want another Texas team.
5) They know they cannot compete in the SEC, but have a (diminishing)chance to win big 12-2-2+2.

The surface reason that is offered so often of "They are too greedy, too arrogant, too pompous" is really true but NOT the reason it won't happen.

As they said in Watergate,"follow the money."
