Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 1362595, member: 2141"] Thanks. Interesting read. But, the article assumes that the NCAA will give authority for the XII to have a football championship game with only 10 members, which is not in the best interest of the other P5 conferences, and does not address the XII's biggest issue - the inequality in terms of revenue and power that U Texas has in comparison to the other XII members. Oklahoma can and would likely thrive away from the Longhorn's shadow in another conference (B1G, PAC or SEC) whereas Texas Tech needs the XII to stay together because if it does not and U Texas goes its own way, Texas Tech may find itself on the outside looking in. Not to mention that while BYU does move the needle, UConn may not move it in Oklahoma City (#45 in the US), UConn owns the Hartford/New Haven market (#30) and moves it in both NYC (#1) and Boston (#7).
