Looking at things rationally, if the Big 12 adds another team from Texas (and the rumor has been that adding Houston in place of A&M may appease the Texas government), I don't see how anyone can fault Texas from dropping A&M in favor of Notre Dame (and the guaranteed national TV exposure). Texas will still get 3 conference games in-state and still has (what I presume) its #1 rival left on the schedule.

The point isn't whether it's accurate, though most in the Big 12 would clearly disagree that it wasn't targeting A&M in any way. The point is that Chip Brown is playing the role of a puppet with Dodds hand up his ass. I'm calling a spade a spade. The information is being released because Texas wants to pressure other schools. It's the reason we're in this mess, yet Texas blindly still believes it can fire these salvos through Chip and thinks it will do anything other than splinter the conference.
