We poisoned the Big 12 by kicking Nebraska and Texas A&M's asses so badly they couldn't stomach it anymore

There is a lot of truth in this, including Arkansas, although none of them would admit that.

Arkansas left because they felt cheated when Texas would beat them, and Texas beat them around 70% of the time. They felt that the refs gave us home cooking, and maybe they did, because all of the refs were from Texas. But had they been winning those games, I don’t think they would have left.

Nebraska blamed Texas for losing all of their “Prop 48” players.. essentially players who didn’t qualify for college and should have gone to juco first. Nebraska had tons of these guys, but the Big 12 voted that you were only allowed 2 male and 2 female.

Texas A&M blames Texas for everything.

Colorado and Missouri just wanted landing spots.

Texas record vs each when they left
vs A&M 76-37-5 (67%)
vs Arkansas 51-19 (73%)
vs Nebraska 10-4 (71%)
vs Missouri 15-4 (79%)
vs Colorado 12-7 (63%)

Like I said.. none of them would admit that.. and I’m sure that Texas was/is a bully of sorts, so I get the other side of the argument, but if they had been beating Texas even half the time, they likely wouldn’t have been so eager to run away.

Downvotes incoming..
