The fact remains that Texas, at one point, wanted to be in the Big Ten, and it was those overtures to the Big Ten that led them to be in the Big XII.
The precedent is also there for the Texas Legislature to prohibit UT from going anywhere.
Thus, my post is extremely relevant to the conversation at hand.

fair enough.. but at least put it in perspective.. at the time the SWC was crumbling and everyone was looking for the best place to land.. it really looked like A&M was headed to the SEC, and without A&M, the Big8 didnt make much since for Texas.. once the state got involved and got all the schools on the big8 track there was never anything else seriously considered..
the big 12 is not in trouble, even if the author in the OP thinks it will cause panic if Missouri leaves.. they are easily replaceable with more attractive options in SMU, TCU, Houston, Arkansas, Colorado State or even BYU and Utah..
long story short, back then, Texas was being forced to make a move.. now, they have no incentive to do so..
