definitely your opinion on everything you said. Texas only does deals behind the scenes which in your eyes looks like "keeping their mouths shut". Didn't involve politicians is actually laughable you wrote that. The longhorn network is hemorrhaging money for ESPN seemed like a no brainer.

It was never a problem of Texas demanding unwanted tag along schools. I am curious to see how the State of Oklahoma works this out with OK State.

Texas and OU were leaving the Big 12 and going to another conference whether the SEC invited them or not. So you can't live in a world where the Big 12 and Texas perpetually exists in its current weak state.

So now, ask yourself, would you rather the State of Texas and all its recruits be firmly in SEC hands along with aTm, or would you rather Texas and OU go to the Pac 12 or Big Ten and have all of their schools come in like vultures splitting up the Texas recruiting pie even further? Because wherever Texas and OU go is the conference that will culturally own that state and its recruits for the next century. Why open it up for USC, Oregon, Ohio State, Michigan, or sleeping giants like AZ State to come in and raid Texas, in addition to the raiding the SEC states are already doing once aTm joined?
