Aggy and SMU killed the SWC.
I was in TX during the Pony Express days, I beg to differ.
The B1G started this when they wanted Notre Dame and Utx in the first place to offset the strength of the CFA. Only major schools not to cross the pickett line were in the B1G and PAC. Notre Dame and Utx said no, so they got Penn State and sat at 11 for years, but the dominoes started to drop.
Utx could never lure LSU and Ole Miss to the SWC after they left the SIAA / SoCon group. Hard to have an unequal conference with only 1 non TX school in the fold, it was asking for disaster. The SIAA did fold so you could count that as Utx kill #1.
If the SWC had acted sooner (B1G went first with Penn State but would not let them officially join for another 3 years) and been forward thinking, you keep the Big 8 and add 4 SWC schools (Utx, TAMU, TCU, and Arkansas) and you would probably have the #2 conference in the US right now. SWC folded so count that as Utx kill #2.
NCAA HQ was in Kansas (B12 country) and B12 center made perfect sense in addition to easy access to the NCAA. Instead Utx wanted everything in TX and bullied to make it happen. B12 moved to TX and NCAA moved to Indiana (B1G footprint). In 2009 the "Blair Report" leaks and the B1G poaches Nebraska while PAC poaches Colorado. B12 goes from #2 conference to being on life support and soon to be a G5 conference. Utx kills #3.
Prove me wrong.
TL : DR Summary - B1G killed the SWC, Big 8, and B12. They just used Utx being the narcissist to accomplish this, and Utx was to blind to not see they got played.

Once Arkansas left and SMU was kicked out of football entirely for a couple of years, the writing was on the wall it wasn't going to survive. Texas was never sanctioned during this time to the tune of bowl bans, vacated wins, or being banned from television. So not sure why Texas is solely to blame here...?
quote:Texas a&m and Oklahoma, in addition to other schools, voted in-step with Texas for every vote in the Big 12 until 2010. Saying UT bullied to make it happen does not track (but flattering nonetheless that you think we have this pull).

quote:Nothing says "getting played" like having the most national titles of any BIG, SEC or Big 12 team across all athletics, constantly having the highest revenue in the country, and landing safely in the SEC after being voted in unanimously at 14-0

Unless you mean "being played" as in our feelings are hurt for being blamed? Meh, we couldn't give less of a shite about that. Texas will always have haters, so we're used to it by now.

Cheese Grits thinks Texas killed the Roman Empire, too.

The hypocrisy of tu has no bounds. They are the destroyers of conferences, yet the liberal dildo worshippers try desperately to deflect the facts.

an annual campus drag show, known as Draggieland
quote:Uh... here are your records against Texas since 2000:
The fact is other teams left the conferences because they got tired of Texas’ insufferable arrogance
Football: Texas leads 9-3
Basketball: Texas leads 22-8
Baseball: Texas leads 38-22
Of course you're tired of Texas. They kick your arse in everything
quote:The only thing being aptly demonstrated is y'all's collective inferiority complex. And saying things like "tu" only strengthens are argument while we point at those records and then point and laugh at you some more
As being so aptly demonstrated by these posts.
Please keep crying, though. Y'all show the rest of the rant exactly how much of your psyche we've utterly destroyed over the years
