Several points this article makes and seems to confirm what some of us have been saying.

1. The SEC wanted Texas. They wanted Texas more than any other school.
2. Arkansas and South Carolina were options 2 and 3.
3. The SEC did not want Texas A&M.

Thanks for sharing this informative article.

You mean back in July 2021 when the SEC added Texas?

Interesting read on the history of Longhorns destroying conferences: Texas Monthly

quote:

In 2011, A&M broke almost a century of Texas football history when the school announced it was joining the SEC. UT’s continued push for greater shares of Big 12 revenue led to the divorce. The creation of the Longhorn Network enraged A&M’s board of regents. UT believed its brand and devoted fans could sustain an independent cable TV network. Like Icarus, the Longhorns wanted to escape their confines. But moderation gave way to greed and the wax holding Texas college football together began to drip, drip, drip.

It turns out that A&M’s move to the SEC was the smart move, not UT’s bet on the Longhorn Network. Over the past decade, the Aggies have prospered while UT has watch those underfunded private schools Baylor and TCU claim three Big 12 Conference Championships to the Longhorns’ none. Not to mention OU claiming the other seven. Now UT has admitted defeat by spurning the Big 12 for the SEC. It turns out that UT needs A&M.

At the time, I considered Texas to be the big prize. It was Arkansas and Texas, and I'm not sure that talks with other schools even began until after Texas pulled out. FSU was the big one, but lots of talk about Miami, too. South Carolina seemed to appear out of nowhere and the only mentions of A&M seemed wishful, at best.
