quote:True, but they won't ruin the conference by themselves. That is why the made the big 8 add Baylor and TTU. They wanted to have as much power as they could. If it had ended up with just Aggy and Texas joining he Big 8 the conference would still be solid today, but Texas can't handle not having all the say. If they did join they couldn't ruin the SEC because they wouldn't have the leverage.
Texas needs to have some sense of power at all times. They won't join unless they get some leverage on the conference.

Who exactly is "They" (assuming that's what the typo is supposed to be) in your sentence?
Because Texas didn't want to bring Texas Tech and Baylor with them. If anything, they were trying to shed that empty weight. It was Lt. Governor Bob Bullock who forced them into the Big12. Texas faced political backfire if they had resisted. Texas got what they wanted with or without BU/TT

Texas has power inside the Big 12 because what it added to the conference
The state of Texas population wise was as much as all the other states combinded. More importantly Texas recruits from Texas HS's littered every Big 12 roster.
The championship game for the Northern teams was a chance for another game in Texas. It was something that they all approved of but it was made to seem like it was UT taking over the conference
Most people do not know why Nebraska hates Texas so much and it has nothing to do with off the field it was pure and simple numbers as the Cornhuskers no longer could compete with Texas
As you have seen leaving the Big 12 hasn't help with that either
Everyone is always looking for scapegoats instead of looking at themselves in the mirror
