re: Why didn't PAC 12 make a bigger move for the Aggies?

In '92, TAMU said that they wouldn't join the SEC, because Texas didn't want to join. What kind of pansies need permission from their primary rival to join a conference?

The kind that have politicians who meddle with their conference alignment. The Big 12 in its current form is the proof of that.

The only reason we got the political cover to do it this time was because:

1. The LHN (basically we argued effectively "they got their toy so we want ours")

2. The Texas AD promised to keep the Big 12 together at least for a little while
