[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129485795, member: 1428007"] How can you guarantee anything about Texas? You can't. Texas is interested in being the top revenue generator and they can't do that by holding back the BIG 12 financially. Their best position is to have as strong a league as possible because it gives them the best chance for success. Playing multiple Texas schools and Oklahoma. Playing some good to very good conference mates in other areas such as WVU and Kansas State. Having the BIG 12 able to generate tv $$ that along with a network allow Texas to remain in as high a revenue state as anyone anywhere. Having a strong conference so that Texas sos isn't damaged --and that comes from high revenues for all and strong recruiting from all--and all the recruits can't come from Texas. Exposure is something Texas likes and getting more in more states isn't going to be bad for them in any way shape or form. There are many reasons to expect Texas to desire BIG 12 expansion and none really why they would oppose it. There's no benefit to seeing multiple conference schools fall down in revenues compared to other conferences. Besides, many reports are that multiple coaches are not all that happy with the LHN and the time demands there anyway. [/QUOTE]
