Biggest problem with UT to the B11 is the massive disadvantage this puts the UT sports teams at on road games.
Lets just look at football for a moment. The majority of UTs road games are either bus trips or very short plane rides. While the players don't get to sleep in their own beds the night before a game, they certainly aren't suffering from jet lag either.
It is far more difficult on the players to to go play at Michigan than at Okie State (assuming the 2 had comparable football teams at the time).
Yes UT has to go to Nebraska and Missouri from time to time, but most of their road games are in the states of Texas or Oklahoma.
Why would any Athletic Dept sign off on putting their players at a disadvantage ? Just makes no sense to me.
