Name a conference that Texas “joined” that existed before they showed up besides the SEC.

The Longhorns never joined the Big 8. They recreated that conference as the Big12. Four teams came in at the same time. So your claim is complete bull shxt.

You can add LSU 2019, even though they eventually backed out the return game@LSU. Looked forward to seeing the UT band in the nose bleed section & Bevo served as a snack to Mike.

horseshite.

"They" didn't re-create shite. Aggot, texsa, Baylor, and Tech all joined the BIG 8 together and the BIG 8 changed its name to the Big XII. The BIG 8 had been around for decades prior, and still existed when all of you joined. That's what happened. I was there, clown.

Not sure how we can take the high road about unequal revenue sharing when we were a full participant in it with Texas,

Eh. More of an accessory to the crime than being the mastermind behind it.

I think we were mostly attempting appeasement. At first they wanted to start a network with just us and them. Byrne said no. But when they kept taking bites at the apple we left for a conference that has the things we wanted, including equal revenue. I think we knew we were in a bad situation and once we were able to come up with an exit strategy it was over.

Suffice it to say though, during any realignment or conference shakeup, money is absolutely a factor.

Playing @osu is running from hard teams? Hell I wish we would since Sark is incapable of beating teams like that.
You should compare our strength of schedule to yours this season.
