Why are we so on their radar? Like we single handedly started all this conference realignment shit or something.

He's right other than it being bad for Mizzou.

I do not think Mizzou's leaving ever really put the Big XII in any danger. As long as Texas and OU want the Big XII, it will exist. The problem for the XII is that Texas and OU change their mind more often than a woman shopping in Bloomingdales.

When Mizzou left, so did the last two major media markets outside of Texas.

The biggest now are OKC, Des Moines, and half of KC. Texas will bolt as soon as the Longhorn Network is pronounced dead.

West Virginia has had a pretty good football program over the years but they are in the Big 12 to play Texas and Oklahoma. Basketball is an afterthought to them.

I don't disagree with that. However, Texas is going to bolt regardless of what Mizzou was going to do, so you cannot blame Mizzou for the potential downfall of the conference.

I don't "blame" Mizzou. Mizzou took a better deal in a better conference. Texas simply isn't going to subsidize the rest of the schools forever.

You're right. I was mistaken about the context.
