How can the State Legislature get involved at all? Baylor is a private school, therefore doesn't get state funding. So how can the legislature have any say in what happens to Baylor when they don't control any of their revenue distribution?
Same as the legislature mandating TCU going to the Pac-10. Doesn't make sense. You can't control what happens to a business you don't fund
Presumably they can control the state schools by threatening the funding. UT seems to be the big fish that the Pac-10 (and everyone else) wants to land. The question is, then, if the Pac-10 wants UT bad enough that they will capitulate to any of their demands about who comes with them. When you see how many people are being affected by UT's high stakes poker play here, you can see why Nebraska and now A&M want to separate from them forever.
