Why should any of them even bother fielding a football team? Ole Miss could put together one of the better rosters in school history .... and finish 5th in their division behind OU, Texas, LSU, and Alabama. Is $20-30m a year worth a losing season for the rest of time in the sports you care about?

That's more just an interesting thought than anything else. They'll of course take the money. If the Big 12 gets liquidated the spending cap horse has left the stable. There will be no reigning it in at that point.

Luckily I don’t think UT will ever join the SEC. Too many things working against that union. We’ll find out in a couple years regardless, an interesting couple of years.
