OU/tx are not happy with B12 and its no small thing. The conf has seemed to go oit of way to screw them at every chance including reffing is 1 sided since announcement of leaving

They did the same thing to A&M, Mizzou, Nebraska and Colorado when they announced they were leaving. The difference being BlowU and Donghorn announced it THREE YEARS EARLY!. Not really sure what you expected.

After A&M and Mizzou left, y'all made it extremely expensive for anyone else to leave. Kinda shot yourselves in the foot on that decision.

How quickly people forget the past and construct a narrative to suit their own viewpoints...

The only person to 'announce it" was A&M through one of their local media mouthpieces in a blatant attempt to scuttle it. All it has really done instead is to screw up the CFP negotiations at the time and looks to have drug this out for Texas and OU, so maybe that is a win in A&M's book. The problem is that that "win" cost everyone in the SEC conservatively so 10s of Millions of $$ and more importantly impacted the structure of how representation for the CFP was going to be in place..

Nobody balked when those teams announced. At all. If anything, most of the big 12 was happy those teams left. On the other hand, Texas and OU carry the big 12, and they know once those two teams leave, life is going to be very different financially and exposure-wise.

A&M is not Texas or OU
