[QUOTE="BrewingFrog, post: 3028972, member: 28"] The thing I cannot understand in this matter, and I touched on this yesterday, is the literal giving up of their control over their fortunes this move represents. As you say, UT ruled the BIGXII and had since DeLoss Dodds cobbled it together lo these many years ago. Even with 10 members, and an uncertain landscape before us, the BIGXII was a viable and valuable property, and UT called all the shots within and without. Now, they are on the fringe of the heartland of the SEC, and facing far more capable Programs than they have been losing to in the BIGXII. They do not control the layout of Divisions, or get to put a thumb on the scales of Conference decisions like they used to. They are now a very junior partner, and not the Grand Poo-Bah. Is all that money (theoretically) worth the loss of self-determination and influence? [/QUOTE]
