Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 521542, member: 622"] This may be more true than most people like to admit but secretly "know" in their hearts/minds. The reality is that if teh Big 12 brings in some football kings (FSU, Miami) and/or barons (Clemson, VATech), they may not be able to control their own destiny in leaving when they want. As the ruled the roost with TAMU and UNL, I've no doubt they'd still be in total control with FSU and Miami. Ironically, what makes Texas so strong and attractive to other conferences make them odious for school considering joining the Big 12. I speak with may UT alumni and they agree that Texas would have to give up a lot of power/influence if they join a different conference. That is what keeps Texas in the Big 12. [/QUOTE]
