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.
Not the whole truth there, they wanted both in the 90's and TAMU was very interested. Last go round it is about claiming new territory and overlaps just don't pay as well. If Texas had not raised their skirts to the PAC twice and gotten blackballed by Stanford it would have been Texas long ago but that boat has sailed and will not return to the dock.
SEC are the guys that want to hang out and drink beer. Texas wants to keep telling you about how their craft beer is the greatest thing and nobody really wants to hear it, they just want to get drunk and watch sports.

For Kentucky
Would you mind Texas joining the ACC
To make the ACC much stronger and more importantly command more money from their contracts than what the SEC receives
Problem is for this group of four by denying UT they are actually helping our their rival universities if Texas decides to join the ACC

Blackballed by Stanford? I thought that was Baylor that Berkeley and Stanford opposed so vigorously. Do you have any proof of this? Texas and Stanford have played several times over the years in football, and especially baseball.
By the way, Texas turned down the Pac-10, not the other way around. That is revisionist history.
Facts:
The Pac-10 expansion attempt to include Texas was in June 2010.
The Big 12 voted to allow schools to create their own network about that time, which sweetened the pot for Texas to stay in the Big 12.
The contract with ESPN and the Longhorn Network was not signed until Dec. 2010.
The University of Texas was still considering which network to partner with as late as Oct. 2010.
