The accusation that there was political pressure from Lt. Gov. Bullock (Tech) and Gov. Richards (Baylor) has been disputed by former UT System president/chancellor Bill Cunningham in a recent book
Richards had little influence in the matter.
Bullock, on the other hand, was the most powerful man in the state until his death. If you truly were alive back then, you'd know this.

How old are you? Like, 32?
Of course I know that the Lt. Gov. is the most powerful Texas politician, especially someone like Bob Bullock.
All I am reporting is the FACT that Bill Cunningham has written a book saying that Richards and Bullock did not apply pressure on the University of Texas to bring along Tech and Baylor.
That could very well be political-speak, with their subordinates actually putting the pressure and no direct communications, or someone like Pete Laney (Tech) or David Sibley (Baylor).
