re: Is the Big 12 still a power conference?

How can one school, needing eight other votes to change anything, force the other schools "to leave or comply"?

Because just like a Bama, or a USC, or a Ohio St, if y'all took your ball and left the conference the Tier 1 TV deal would have been fricked. And you know that, you just like pretending those votes are equal and mean something because otherwise Texas is an indefensible bully. It was eight votes against two (us and Mizzou) and we knew we would be outvoted because for a Kansas St. or a Baylor or ANY of the rest without other options the LHN was better than being a mid major. Heck even OU TRIED to leave but couldn't.

You are right, we didn't have to vote for it. We didn't even try to stop it. Instead we left. What is wrong with that? We finally didn't agree with Texas on something and left. All the previous yes votes doesn't negate that.

Why should we have stayed and been out voted and fricked over when we had options? As you say, the Big 12 serves Texas and will exist as long as it serves Texas. Why is it not Ok to admit that BY DEFINITION that means it doesn't serve A&M or Mizzou?

Y'all got exactly what you wanted - an easy path through a regular season. I hope you enjoy it, because it is obvious the casual football fans in Texas don't.
