Then the small schools, who may not have a soft landing, start panicing (Baylor, K State, ISU).

OU motivates the smaller schools to take the heat by sticking their necks out and blocking the A&M move, but OU does not get the blame. Baylor does.

OU does the heavy lifting, takes the indirect blame, while UT is deemed innocent of any meddling. Very clever. Because if UT had threatened to leave causing the small schools to scurry, it would be easy to cry foul. With OU threatening, everyone buys it as legit.

All the while OU and UT, hand in hand, getting what they want.

Very clever indeed. Very clever.

How is that clever? What exactly do OU and UT want?
