The most interesting part of that article is that it confirms that all 10 schools are locked in for the next 6 years.

That means no escape for anyone until 2018-19

In the mean time, UT has a majority voting block of schools in their back pocket (OU, OSU, BU, TTU & TCU). Why risk adding two possible dissenting votes that could pit the North against the South in two deadlocked voting blocks when you have full control right now?

There is a reason for that need for control. With all dissention gone and everyone else held hostage by the GoR and nowhere to go, UT now has carte blanchhe to ignore all the promises, pleas and concessions they agreed to while trying to keep A&M and MU in the league and instead go full throttle on LHN for the next 6 years and there is nothing any of the other schools can do to prevent the screw job.
