As I recall it only got to the "threatening" stage with the Texas state legislature; the entire thing didn't go quite far enough for them to really bestir themselves.
To go OT: Bullock was state comptroller at that time but the real power position is--for weird Texas reasons--the lieutenant governorship, which Bullock occupied during the administration of Gov. George W. Bush. Bullock, a Democrat, could've blocked Bush's career if he had felt like it but for whatever reason chose to work with him and make Bush a political success. So Bullock was responsible for the Big 12 and President George W. Bush, which personally I think is a not-so-great resume.
