Again, you don't have to convince me that Texas would rather stay in the Big 12 than move to the SEC. I know that. Everyone knows that.

The goal of the networks is to make the Big 12 a "G5" conference in terms of revenue, Playoff access, and autonomy. Then Texas will have to join one of the other "P4" conferences if it wants a "seat" at the "big boy's table". We all know Texas wants to have its cake and eat it too. If Penn State could join the MAC, get the same $ they get now, and the MAC champion gets a berth in the Orange Bowl every year, Penn State would be in the MAC right now. Do you think anyone is going to let PSU do that? They wouldn't let Ohio State do that. The MAC + PSU + OSU isn't a major conference. It's the job of the networks to stand up to Texas/Oklahoma and push them around rather than the other way around. Give the fans what we want to see, Texas and Oklahoma playing Texas A&M, Alabama, and LSU instead of Kansas State, West Virginia, and Texas Tech.
