There must be something about Texas that rubs people wrong. Back then, four universities didn’t just leave a major conference right around the same time for no reason. That was unheard of back then.

It's not complicated. Big 12 was forced into being by the Texas Governor (Baylor alum) and Lt. Governor (Texas Tech alum). It was a conference built on sand comprised of schools who wanted to join other conferences in the first place.

At the first opportunity, those schools pursue their longtime interests. Texas and Longhorn Network was the perfect excuse.
