You're missing the point of my reply. I'm not arguing to keep them out. The person I responded to said all you had to do to keep Texas "under wraps" was beat them. The Big 12 has been beating them like a red-headed stepchild for the better part of a decade, but that didn't improve their programs' standing within the conference or their bargaining power. Nor did it humble the Texas administration in any way, shape, or form.
I agree they won't have the pull the had in the SWC or the Big 12. Hence why I said I'm not against them joining. The point was that "just beat them" isn't a valid response when addressing the concerns of adding Texas as a conference member.

Right and this is a 1000% different situation because Texas was still one of just two teams bringing in most of the eyeballs. That will not be even close to the case in the SEC.
