Although the argument could be made that the loss of two teams and the replacement by inferior teams, plus the consolidation of power in the big 3, means the Big 12 is more like a mid-major football conference.

Now Texas is once again like the road captain, letting everyone know those chains are for their own good. Wish they'd stop being so good to everyone.

Guess all these other schools will just have to accept that they have been moved down a peg in football relevancy, while the schools in major conferences have all improved themselves.

If the Big 12 is to become more relevant in the future they need to add quality football progams and lose the millstone football programs.

I'm sorry, but this is exactly the attitude that got you played in the first place. You think your program is bigger than it is, has more appeal than it does, draws more from its market bases than it will. You are in a major football conference. You are getting paid close to what the good SEC teams get paid despite not having near the chops to justify it. You got to kepp your natural rivalries, keep your reduced travel time, and almost double your revenues. You're given so much more than Boise State is and yet you make it sound like its "the deal" that keeps you down.
