After reading many of the posts, it seems to me that Texas is really the issue. They want everything their way, want to share very little and threaten leaving if they do not get their way. Maybe we shoud just let them leave. If we get rid of Texas, and agree to having an equitable format for everyone, ala the Big Ten, maybe we could convince BYU, Boise State, Arkansas, Air Force, New Mexico etc to join for a 12 team conferance. Yes there will be stronger teams than others, but it could work. Oklahoma could still have great chances of winning the conferance so it would be an advantage for them. I know Boise State just changed conferances but they might be convinced especially if they could complete for an automatic qualifying position. The more that everyone gives in to Texas, especially places like Missouri and the Oklahoma schools and Texas Tech the more bold and demanding Texas became. Let them go fight their battles on their own. If we could keep Tech, and Baylor in the conferance then their would still be Texas trips and Texas publicity. What would really be great would be to have the entire conferance agree not to play Texas in any sport, that would increase some of their costs and cause them to travel away from their fan base.. I know this would not happen but sometimes it may be better to let the bully just go play by himself.
