Can't picture OU abandoning long-time rivalries to travel to left coast to play in the pansy league. |

The OU Nebraska football rivalry was up there with about any and I think it sucks that it is over. But, the real mistake was made, back when they let all the Texas schools in, and gave the Longhorns the keys to the conference. I truly think this is going to be very interesting to see how it plays out. |

Agreed, letting Bevo drive is the root of all problems here. NU said FU, aTm said good riddance, who's next? Would rather have seen them tell UT to go screw and revert to the Big 8 teams. |

I guess I was unaware of the Big 8 really needed to expand at the time, I thought they had the world by the short hairs, but must have been wrong. It looks like a mass exodus, but should be interesting. |

Not to mention if the original Big 8 expansion plans had went down, it would have just been Texas and A&M. They would have had less power for sure. |

The simple fact is that the midwestern schools were really damn naive, and didn't realize Texas had taken over the conference until it was too late. |

Not talking about admitting them to the conference. That was a good thing IMO and the right decision. Big 8 needed Dallas and Houston tv markets, and Texas needed the Big 8 schools. I was talking about the decisons after that from moving to the headquarters, comissioner and other decisons. OU went with Texas schools and Colorado was a bitch as well. If they could have kept the Big 8 voting block intact, they would have kept the power of Texas down.

Correction: That's all on OU, NU and aTm. They sided with UT on every facet of tiered financial compensation until they realized they weren't getting what they wanted.

Yup, the Nubbs never had a problem with unequal revenue until they sucked balls and lost that TV appearance based revenue.
