the SWC ceased to exist for many reasons.
1. Probation, ironically due to member schools turning each other in. SMU, TCU, and Houston were the biggest hits.
2. Oilers and Cowboys removing the eyes of their respective markets from college football, with regards to SMU, Rice, Houston, and TCU.
3. The Big 12 wanted those 2 markets, and could get them via Texas and the Ags.
The reality is, new money TV contracts, paired with the afore mentioned under performing schools from a viewership standpoint, killed the SWC.
