They probably have the best fan support none of the other blue bloods would be packing their (enormous) stadiums week in week out after a couple decades of irrelevance. Also remember the Big 12 wasn't always 12 its pretty easy to see how they were kings of the Big 8 and then the influx of SWC teams happened when they were at their absolute peak and dominant and strengthened their ties to Texas. They left something that fit them perfectly. The lure of more TV money and assuming they'd be Iowa/Wisconsin at worst was hard to turn down from afar you'd think competing with those two (and not seeing the East much) would be easier than keeping pace with OU and UT. But it was a mistake. [/QUOTE]
