re: Facts about Texas “destroying” two conferences.

I don't even care enough to read about what "really happened." But I know that whenever teams have left conferences Texas has been a part of, they say they left because Texas was being unreasonable. Maybe it's all a case of mass hysteria spread out over decades and all these schools were mistaken.

I also know there used to be really good football being played in the middle of the country and now it can't even support a conference. Everyone but Texas blames Texas.

Now they're just going to be the newbie in a conference that doesn't particularly care for them one way or another. This is the end result of prioritizing short term gains. Taking a bigger piece of the pie generally doesn't pay off long term if you're causing the pie to shrink.
