re: OU received invite in 2010 but did not think A&M was a good partner

Why would Texas A&M want to go to the B1G when the SEC is the better conference for Texas A&M.

It's funny how things work out. It's fair to say that the majority of Mizzou fans would have preferred the Big Ten over the SEC back in 2010/2011. And the truth is nobody knows exactly what happened between Mizzou and the Big Ten - there are only rumors. But obviously we did not end up there, but we did find a seat in the strongest conference in the country, as an equal member.

And then a decade later, we got to watch Texas beg Mizzou for a "yes" vote to join the SEC as well. It's a good thing that we out here in humble Missouri aren't plagued by your Texas arrogance, because otherwise, we might have just remembered how Texas ruined our conference of 100+ years, moved the conference headquarters to Texas from Missouri, created a Longhorn Network that effectively precluded a Big 12 Network, created a league of minions in the Texas and Oklahoma schools to do your bidding, and then your AD made comments like this:

"We’re going to have good years again,” Dodds promised. “Our bad years are not that bad. Take a school like Missouri. Our bad years are better than their good years. But we’ve created a standard."

Of course, the year he made that comment coincided with back-to-back division championships for Mizzou while Texas went 8-5 and then 6-7 against the little sisters of the poor.
