Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 542678, member: 622"] Mant people forget that TAMU tried to escape the Texas shackles when the SWC fell apart. Colorado, UNL and Mizzou all wanted out from under Texas' thumb. Every other school in the Big 12 wanted out but had no soft landing. If the Big East had the money, they could have shattered the Big 12. The Big 12 is held together by Texas and a good payout, there is no loyalty, tradition, desire to stay together. Contrast that with the ACC where there is some long history from the old line schools going back to the Southern Conference. [/QUOTE]
