PS - a quick history lesson for context and perspective:

In 1994 Texas was planning to go to the Pac-10 and A&M was planning to go to the SEC.  Texas politicians got involved and forced the two schools to stay together long enough to find a landing spot for  Texas Tech and Baylor.  Hence, the Big 12.

Texas never wanted in.  It was a compromise.  A forced marriage.

For the first ten years of the Big 12's existence, rumors ran rampant that Texas (along with Colorado) would leave the Big 12 for Pac-10.

In June 2010, Texas had an opportunity to have its cake and eat it too.  To go to the Pac-10 and take favored partners with it.

Since the advent of the LHN, the rumor has been that Texas is going independent.

But you know what, Texas is still here, in the Big 12, after all these years.  Colorado got to go to the Pac-10 without Texas, A&M finally got to go to the SEC, Nebraska who thought they owned the Big 8 is gone, And Texas is still here.

Texas is like George Bailey always dreaming of anchor chains, plane engines and train whistles, but being stuck in Bedford Falls forever.

And you guys are worried Texas might leave.
