Okay, Oman, maybe we just don't get it. Why do you think the other Big 12 member schools are so anxious to leave a competitive, profitable league? To the outside world it sure looks like Texas skipped the week they taught "playing well with others" in kindergarten.
The PAC 10/12 member schools (even the University of Spoiled Children) understand they all prosper if the league is strong. Think David Ricardo in an athletic sphere. Texas, on the other hand, seems to fundamentally treat the Big 12 as a zero sum game where they only can prosper at the expense of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Colorado. Is it any wonder those schools want to flee?
Academically Texas is top notch. Competitively Texas is top notch. They'd bring millions of eyeballs to the PAC 12 network.
I still don't want 'em unless they embrace the Pac 12 credo that the sum of the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.Â
Our conference commissioner may feel differently.
