That really doesn't bother anyone in Austin because wherever UT goes will instantly become the best conference
If this were even remotely true then your conference wouldn't crumbling worse than a fricking saltine cracker.

The conference was a mismatch from the beginning

CU had long ago grew out of being considered a Midwest farm school. Colorado in the 50's and 60's was not the CU of the 90's. Not to mention how they viewed every university besides their own.
People who claim UT is arrogant and snobby has never been around Boulder or CU alum

The Northern schools besides Nebraska and later Kansas St valued basketball over football and in some cases did not value football at all

The Texas schools besides A&M and UT were forced into the Big 12. Tech would never have been there because all the other schools had longer connections with the SWC. Tech came from the predecessor to the WAC the Border Conference.


Most importantly every school formerly in the Big 8 besides the Oklahoma schools thought that OU turned their backs on them because of UT

They didn't hate OU because of this but UT
