If UT was in the SEC you could control the entire state


You don't understand the SEC

They want #1 or #2 but not both. They already have TAMU and that is enough to get the SEC west (Alabama) in TX. In the 90's they got SC when the Taters said no and they built up their market share. Cocks are now competitive so Taters are locked out in the future.

The other issue is harmony amongst the conference. AD's and presidents move in unison when they move. If Texas has just a no vote or two they might have a chance but if they have 3 or more it is not real probable to happen. Remember Florida (UF's president) and Kentucky (CKY is full of Texans) were the strong backers of TAMU to join. If TAMU says no, and UF and UK go along, Texas will not be in the SEC.

And that's all this was about, finding a willing patsy to open the door for Alabama and LSU to recruit.

Even "super Ag" Gene Stallings admitted as much.
