Here is what should have happened several years ago in the Big 12: 

1.  The Big 12 should have looked at the landscape, known that the clock was ticking on the current arrangement and looked to aggressively expand.  By aggressively I mean gone after meatier schools then whatever that piss poor display they put on back in 2016.  Pac-12, Big 10 maybe even Arky, it all should have been thrown out there.

2.  They should have done all that knowing you don't put on a condom unless you're gonna fuck and if that plan didn't work there needed to be a lights out plan for the conference to start the very process that is now taking place where the outcome is getting its members into the best possible situation for the long term future.  Of course now it's a panicked clusterfuck.

That would have required a visionary leader who could coach his member schools.  It also would require member schools that were capable of being honest with themselves, who they were, what they were capable of.

This conference has a buffoon leader who probably spent a bunch of time telling a school like Baylor how great they were instead of praising them for their achievements but consistently having honest conversations with them about their perceived and real weaknesses that would mean that in the lights out plan they were never going to have the same opportunity as a Texas or OU but that they could still have the best opportunity for Baylor. 

The conference also has a bunch of C,D,F team players who can't look themselves in the mirror and be realistic about who they are, what they are actually capable of and what that most likely means for their future.  EVEN THOUGH doing that would certainly have helped them make a better, more thoughtful and less panicked plan on how they would pursue that future.

Why was Texas and OU not trusting and forthright and honest in this whole thing?  Because you can't have honest dealings with a person or entities that can't be honest with themselves.  

The Big 12 should have added the Arizona schools and ... that was their only move.

He’s definitely enjoying how the tables have turned on baylor and tech.

That idiot wants Texas to shoulder all of the risk because they're profitable.   Also apparently forgets that Texas A&M didn't play in the Big12.

Hartzell admits that move to the SEC will help recruiting.

Admits that opponents are better - more 'big' games.

Admits that media coverage is better.

I embrace the hate. These schools would leave for greener pastures in a second if they could and had that opportunity. Texas doing it first pisses them the fuck off and they are pissed they couldn't get such an invite first, if at all. All this grandstanding is hammering home the point that Texas was, is, and forever will be the school that runs this state. Fall in line or get the fuck off the track. 

Which is it, Texas is the only reason you're relevant or is the reason you're not?

Is Hinojosa supposed to be helping or hurting Texas case?  I honestly can't tell.

I'm not sure he can either. Wow he was elected?

These schools are trying real hard to screw themselves

Can't pay your own bills ? Here's your options. 

1. We welcome you as UT-Waco / Lubbock / FW , and burn half your admin down to the ground 

2. You new conference will be all texas schools minus A&M and Texas from here on out 

3. All your non-conf games will be all texas directionals 

 

 

Don't be greedy. It can be Texas A&M-Waco. Aggy can own the rape/murder coverup history

Taking shit at Texas losing to TCU but oh no the sky is falling with UT leaving.  If TCU is so great there should be no problem remaining in a Power 5.

Is the airing of grievances still going on?  What time are the feats of strength?

Most definitely.  We just got reminded of Texas record against TCU for the umpteenth time.

Yes, ha ha. TCU has beaten us a lot. Now go enjoy your half empty stadium in 2 years. 

You mean the WILL NEVER BE FULL AGAIN stadium for lizard football.

The same for the rest of these shitty schools that are about to receive their long-awaited station in the real world. They refuse to accept their shame!

I'm sorry - but if we're using 'mall' analogies - then Hartzell is right that the future of the Big12 is dead.  If you're counting on 2 'anchor' stores to save you - you're fucked.

TCU and Baylor backed the wrong horse. Instead of chasing research dollars, they chased football championships. 
 

There’s a reason why Rice doesn’t give a shit about football. They make significantly more money on research grants. And oh yeah, they improve society while doing this.
