I’m anxious to see who replaces him.

But I do think Powers holding on to the FB coach was a factor.

Would they need a unanimous vote for UT? Is there anyway A&M would want UT? [/LIST] ME: I doubt A&M would receive UT enthusiastically but might swallow it since they're in their dream conference. Mizzou left the B12 to get away from Texas. It would be an almost-B12 situation for them again. One thing for sure is that this scenario would force the Big Ten to start merger talks with the PAC immediately. [/QUOTE]
