Wait, why would we do that? Why give them a platform to compete for recruits?

Dude y'all gotta get over shite like that

If you are scared that playing a team gives them a platform you are have already lost the recruiting battle with them.

Anyway, its b/c it would be a P5 game against a school we have a long history with that many a fan would get excited for. (and I'm well aware of the vocal minority here that hates all things Big 12/any other Texas school that wants a home and home but that's what they are, the minority.)

On top of that, we still need to work on the DFW area for recruiting. This would only help our exposure up there. TCU is also still taking a significantly reduced portion of the Big 12 TV money which limits their ability to fully compete with us (and limits their negotiating power) so while we would get credit for beating a P5 team we would also be playing one with a decided disadvantage.
