The whorns didn't destroy the shitty SWC. The SWC was doomed to failure because all of it's teams, except one (Arky), were located in the same state in the age of TV contracts. There was no TV market money to be had.
Of those teams, three were private schools with crap programs, zero attendance, zero ticket sales, and zero TV market interest (Rice, TCU, SMU) and SMU had it's program killed by the NCAA (death penalty), while Houston was on probation.
The SWC was never going to survive and their TV money was drying up. Texas was the first to pull the fire alarm and do what the other teams all knew was coming anyway and everybody else yelled "FIRE!" and scattered.

You should study the SWC of the '80s a lot more closely and also realize that the NCAA Infractions Committee was run by a UT Law Prof. Hell SMU used to play games at Texas Stadium and drew solid crowds. Texas destroyed that conference because they wanted to essentially expand and take over the Big 8.
It's really hard to understate just how arrogant and evil Texas is. People don't believe it until they have really experienced it.
