This is a bullshite argument. Texas has no real academic standards for blue chip athletes. The answer to all of their "academics" arguments can be refuted with two words "Vince Young". Mr. 3 on the wonderlic.

Truth is, like Bowden and FSU in 1992, they're a bunch of *******.

Yeah if they were serious about academics they would have left the Big 12 long ago and the standards would be along the lines of a Notre Dame. They didn't leave until their hand was forced and they have yet to change those standards. It's typical arrogance on the part of that school.

Texas doesn't want to join the SEC because they can't really bully the conference like they canthe Big 12 and could the new Pac-10 if they carried five schools with them. Academics is a cover story. It has always been a figleaf.
