Sorry.
A large majority of Aggies were born and raised in ATX.
Our ranches in Travis, Gillespie, etc. go back many generations.
We chose to leave for higher education.

Nebraska supported unequal revenue distribution based on the number of television appearances, as well as single-school networks for third-tier content.

Colorado left the Big 12 to beat Baylor for a spot in the Pac, fully expecting Texas to join them out west.

Missouri has coveted a spot in the Big 10 for decades, and tried to make the jump when they figured the Big 12 was ending because Texas was leaving (and were subsequently turned down and had to take an SEC invite because, as a university official stated, “that is all that’s left”).

Any other confusion I can alleviate?

fear has got nothing to do with it, Texas as a football team hasn't been relevant since we beat you in 2009, I am more talking about an arrogant university that has run off every decent program that you have been associated with except Oklahoma who is constantly upset having to be in in a conference that is, except for them, becoming increasingly irrelevant

Oklahoma is free to leave (except for forfeiting millions in the grant of rights that no one forced them to sign), but they were turned down by the PAC without Texas.

Oklahoma would be a great fit in the B1G.
Not sure why it hasn’t come to fruition?

That’s quite a claim. Get a quick start on the weekend drinking?

Correct.
The horns don’t own central Texas.

I’m not looking to argue with you.
I know my family.
I know my friends.
I know my colleagues.

You’re certainly welcome to your own opinion.

Awesome.

You just proved his point. Lol

Btw, didn't the PAC-12 say that they'd never extend another offer to Texas after the last fiasco?

How does the fact that Colorado accepted the Pac offer while expecting Texas to join the Pac conference themselves within days, prove that Colorado was trying to get away from Texas by joining the Pac?
