Which again excuses him for being reactive.
He had to know better than anyone how shaky the whole thing was. He had to know that Nebraska was looking to bolt and that tensions were running high.
He needed to get
ahead of this thing. He needed to be talking to Texas like he was the adult in the room instead of just another petulant teenager trying to talk down a bunch of other petulant teenagers. It essentially turned into a high shool lockerroom fight with no coach involved anywhere to assuage egos before they got too far out of hand.
WTF was he doing as the XII commissioner if he wasn't trying to stay ahead of this mess?
