Earlier in the thread, I agreed to this. I was just arguing the point with another poster about UT's stance within the nation. He tried to say that Miami and USC (of all teams) were 'national brands', but not Texas
I apologize for not reading through the whole thread and picking up on this.
We kind of agree in a roundabout way.

I gotcha now. I think going Indy nowadays is a death sentence. Notre Dame gets away because of the tv deal and rivalries they have established with good teams. They have their own unique scheduling rivalries that simply won't be broken up.
Michigan
Purdue
Michigan State
USC
Stanford
Those teams are good any given season.
Texas can't do that...and I think BYU definitely solidifies themselves as a true mid-major now.
In the day of superconferences and the importance of scheduling and the BCS...Independence is bad news.
That said, Texas baseball and basketball could survive in some place like the Big East (if FB went Indy).
