Who should they have followed?

Who else in the SWC and Big 12 could have led a small group of big schools and a bunch of little ones through the mindfield of NCAA athletics over the past 40 years?

OU?
TAMU?
Missouri?
Nebraska?
Colorado?
Rice?
Houston?
Tech?
Baylor?
Okie State?
Kansas?

(There's already about 20 threads/page extolling the virtues of Texas, so lets hear about the virtues of the others.)

I'll sit back & listen.

I'm a simple man. I see a Texas fan, I give a downvote.

I would not ascribe to beneficence what could more accurately be explained by self-interest and exploitation. Texas didn’t shack up with these teams because they cared about them. They did it because they were the best teams UT+OU could cobble together to make a conference they would each dominate. As soon as the arrangement became a detriment to UT+OU’s success, they bailed on them for the SEC.

You just followed Arkansas, Aggies and Mizzou to the SEC.

Frank Broyles was a real smart man to get us out of the all Texas conference when he did. Arkansas blew up the SWC boy

It really is easy to see who the sidewalk Texas fans are.

Aggy upgrades locker room?

Aggy upgrades training facilities?

Aggy upgrades/expands stadium?

Aggy leaves Big12 and goes to SEC?

Those dummies in Austin haven't led the way in a very long time.

It was a conference of equals, not a business/organizational pyramid requiring someone at the top.

Per the norm you lack self-awareness.
