Message: [QUOTE="SaltineWarrior, post: 36937, member: 925"] The way I see it, teams used to want to go to a conference that allows them an easier path to a BCS bowl. I think that might be part of the thinking in Austin. And with Texas and their TV network, you have to figure that they might be more willing to allow a team like SMU in the conference since SMU will probably not put up a stink about Texas's bigger revenue numbers. That didn't fly with Texas A&M but SMU and TCU and perhaps even Houston would be more than happy to take a smaller percentage of the $ associated with a conference that includes Texas because, well, it includes Texas. Texas gets to keep their money and as long as they remain in a conference with a BCS berth, they can get to a big bowl with less obstacles. [/QUOTE]
