If Don Walsworth, a former University of Missouri curator and a major donor to the MU athletic department, needed confirmation which school called the shots in the Big 12, he got it during a home basketball game against Texas two years ago.
Walsworth and his guest, Longhorns Athletic Director DeLoss Dodds, were watching the game courtside when the conversation turned to the economic chasm between UT and Missouri. The message was clear. With mounds of money — Texas’ $144 million in revenue that year was nearly triple what MU earned — came power.
“Don’t get in a pissing contest with Texas because you’re not going to win,” Walsworth recalled Dodds saying.
Walsworth respects Dodds and said the boast was made with tongue in cheek.
“But when a guy jokingly says something,” Walsworth said, “he’s going to kind of mean it.”

UTa should be furious with Dodds IMO for ruining a financially viable conference. They are going to fall far behind the SEC, Pac, and B1G in the following years.
Good job, Mizzou for winning the pissing contest with Texas

why would you get into a pissing contest with somebody that will just piss all over you if things aren't going their way?

Texas has fought to save the Big 12....for the kids.
Nothing to see here.

Not to mention tarnishing texas' reputation nationally. NTTAWWT in my eyes, of course.

Texans don't care about other states, schools, or people.
They are as delusional and entitled in all aspects of life as Bama is in football.

Don't insult real Texans by lumping the limp-wrists from Austin in with the rest of us!

Um...Yeah.....
Dodds is an insufferable douche, just like many of the longhorn t-shirt fans. Don't assign guilt by association. Texans are not like his Kansas douche arse.

Texas fans are delusionaly blinded by their own arrogance.
Got into a friendly argument with a UT fan over the weekend about the Longhorn Network. I said it was set to fail. His rebuttal was that MTV had the same issues when it began.
I told him that you forget to remember that everybody likes Music; not everyone likes the University of Texas.
