re: Why is Texas so Butt Hurt over losing Texas A&M & Mizzou to the SEC?

I think most of the defections to A&M will come from players that would otherwise go to the Big-12. I doubt UT and OU will feel the pain, but it will be very hard for the other schools in the B-12 to compete.

This is more important than people realize. Okie State has lured away a few 4 star recruits from the Houston area over the past that they won't be able to any longer. Same with Tech.

It isn't necessarily about the star players, but having quality and depth. The SEC move will really help this, imo.
