re: Why Texas Tech?

No.

Tech will get a free ride into a BCS conference thanks to Texas. Just as Kansas will try to take care of KSU. I understand the realities. But, objectively speaking, Tech is possibly the worst BCS program when we consider all factors (maybe Washington St is worse). It has terrible academics, they've never won a BCS-level conference title, the city is near nothing, and they stink at other sports too.

Even the dregs of other conferences offer something. Or at least good at some other sports. Tech sucks at everything.

Tech should get on their knees every night and thank God for Texas. Because it is quite literally the only reason Tech will end up in a decent conference.

Someone asked, I answered. Tech is going to have a soft landing because of Texas. But on their own merits, Tech is a worse get than Baylor. Which isn't to say Baylor is awesome, it's to point out how terrible of a get Tech is.
