I agree, I just saw duncan idaho say something to that affect. Personally, I really could care less about the LHN. I don't think it adds much of a competitive advantage if any.
That said, I would argue the important issues are more about establishing the vision and cooperation of the conference, not the restriction of this or that. The Big XII ought to have some common goals instead of promoting this constant "every school for themselves" mentality.
Now, you might say the LHN is an impediment towards those goals, but I don't think so. The LHN is a big deal because everyone chooses to use it as a symbol of division. The Big XII needs to identify what to work together on, what they stand for as a conference and how they want to assist each other in that endeavor. Until people stop making a bigger deal out of the LHN than needs be, consensus building will not occur. And that's just as much a problem of the eight other members as it is Texas.
