I have no fear that they will able to pull the same shenanigans in the SEC as they have in the past.
We moved to this conference because of it's rules and equal treatment and I trust that to continue.

Texas didn’t kill the SWC or Big 12.

The crappy teams in the SWC killed that league.. Rice, SMU, Houston.. it was all the same market and no one cared to watch those teams. The money just wasn’t there..

And the Big 12 today isn’t much different, although it is a lot better than the SWC. It is either join another conference or get left in the dust.. The Big 10 and SEC will have a huge money advantage pretty soon if a move isn’t made.

Oklahoma doesn’t have a problem with Texas.. nor vice versa.. because we are equals. In the SEC or Big 10, it would be a conference of equals.

You can blame Texas all you want, but they are fighting to stay relevant.. it isn’t their responsibility to keep the little guys in the same boat.
