Looks like I was off by about 4 years.
If Texas wants all of the money and their own network, the only thing they will end up getting in the end is a role as an independent or garbage teams in the conference to play with.
Understand, I'm not blaming Texas, they can do whatever they want. But why would any team with the ability to move NOT move? So they can watch Texas control the entire conference like a puppet master?
This was never going to last. The remnants of the Big East or WAC or whatever may end up being the big 12, but those schools really have no choice but to deal with it and will get more money than they could otherwise
It wouldn't shock me a bit if OU and OSU go to the PAC 12 at some point and you end up with Kansas, Texas, Baylor, Texas Tech, Kansas State, Iowa State and then the six best schools who weren't invited to a power conference as your new Big 12.
