The main reason Arkansas left the SWC was Texas flirting with the PAC-10. We didn't want to get left holding the bag with Texas A&M in trying to hold the SWC together.

You don't have a clue what you're talking about.

The following was proven in a court of law.

From 1993:

quote:

---

At trial, the appellant abandoned his argument that he was conducting state business by attending the ceremony as an official invitee of L.S.U. He instead claimed that he went to conduct official state business by meeting with Dr. Davis to discuss the possibility of Texas A & M's leaving the Southwest Conference (S.W.C.) and joining the Southeastern Conference (S.E.C.), and the financial status of the S.E.C. The appellant argued that his discussion with Dr. Davis was of the utmost importance to the state, and his witnesses attested to the importance of the issues surrounding the breakup of the S.W.C. and to the need for discretion about Texas A & M's possible move from the S.W.C. to the S.E.C.

.... The State showed that the invitation to join the S.E.C. had been formally extended to Texas A & M a few years before the appellant's trip.

Arkansas saw the writing on the wall (and good for them): the non-producers like Rice, TCU, Baylor and Houston were about to take down the rest of the conference. There was no longer a desire for Texas or A&M or Arkansas to subsidize them, as they had for decades (especially Texas). You left for greener pastures, a good move by Frank Broyles.

Moreover, all the Big 12 issues (individual third-tier networks and unequal TV money distributions based on appearances) were approved each and every time by A&M, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Missouri.

You're all a bunch of lying bitches.
