But maybe this shouldn't be much of a worry.
No more Texas teams. No. Just ****ing no. If that were a condition to keeping the B12 alive, I'd have just let them burn it down.

With OU essentially being an arm of UT and OSU standing in lock-step with OU at all times, putting TCU in there is essentially 7 Texas squads. We have enough trouble with these guys, I'm not inclined to let it get any worse.

As for academics - the Big 10 just admitted the University of Nebraska. Yes, that Nebraska. I'm done pretending that academics have any bearing on conference affiliation.
