The quote from Cunningham was regarding how Tech used politics to force its way into the B12 riding the crest of West Texas political power fueled by oil and cotton populism.

That was 30 years ago (Cunningham left as president a few years later in 1992)

West Texas is no longer the political force it once was largely due to steeply declining population there vs the explosion of growth in East Texas and the diversification of the Texas economy.

So don’t confuse those days with today. There’s no powerful political alumni in a key office like Bob Bullock was to rescue Tech by black mailing the Flagships into taking them along for the ride again.

Plus, there would be massive blowback from A&M. We don’t want UT in the conference and we absolutely don’t want ANY of their okie or Texas little brother Tagalongs also coming with them. Again, if the SEC let’s them all in then what the hell did we get away from? We left because we DONT want to play them or do business with them anymore.

If Texas politics, ESPN, and the SEC get together all bets are off. We aren't a market driven pay model for anything but the SECN now. The bottom line, geography, and fan draw, will decide these matters.

Texas Tech has a bunch of fans that would love to go to Baton Rouge, Oxford, Auburn and Tuscaloosa.
