That feels ... incomplete.

The SWC imploded because the SEC left the CFA to cut its own TV deal. Once that happened the CFA consortium was heavily devauled. And THAT led to Texas and several others looking to create a more attractive package with the move.

It wasn't like Texas just randomly decided to take flight or something. Sure, they looked for the $$ but that was already set in motion by other events.
