That is why the made the big 8 add Baylor and TTU.

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

The Texas legislature was what allowed Arkansas to move to the SEC
UT and FSU were the first two choices in late 80's but first FSU said no so A&M was brought up but the Texas Legislature got involved I thought it was because of Baylor but you may know better as I was young at the time and I am only going off what others said and the bits and pieces I read.
