They only got into the Big 12 over TCU because of aggressive political action by Ann Richards, the governor at the time and a Baylor alum (if I remember the story correctly, some older Ags might be able to correct me here or provide more detail).

Biggest historical misconception. It wasn't Ann Richards who forced the BU/TT deal. It was Bob Bullock who made all the backroom deals. Hell, if my memory serves me right, Bob Bullock's backroom deals are the only reason we have Reed Arena.
