Big 12 Debacle

This conference had the resources, history and the talent to be better than
they are.

The lack of cohesion is unbelievable to me.
How can this happen, again?
The SWC and Big 8 were year in and year out an equal to the SEC and Big 10.

What happened? Texas seems to be the only constant in the bickering and
under achieving. People blame the isolation of a small market area, but the Big 12 had a bigger population base than the SEC. Excuses...Excuses..

Let’s assume that these teams leave:
Texas, A&M, TTech, Okla, Okie St, Neb. Colorado and Missou (only because the
Big can solidify the St Louis Market with both Illinois and Missouri.

That leaves- Baylor, Kansas, K State, Iowa St to suffer in exile.

Add Houston, with , Baylor, Kansas, K State, Iowa St to the Mountain West,
change the name and you could have some fun football.

I would expect the Pac 10 to fight for A&M when it recognizes the chance
to join the SEC and grow to be an equal to Texas and out of UT's shadow.

They will remain an also ran in Texas like Okie St in Oklahoma as long as they just follow people into a no win situation.
