UT has been the custodian of Texas P5 for a long time


They were the puppet-master over all FBS schools in Texas until aTm shot them the middle finger and paved their own path to the SEC (and good for them). To everyone in Texas not named aTm, UT is the E.F. Hutton of Texas P5 college football. "when UT talks, people (or Texas schools) listen." They relish the power and control they have over Texas and the Big XII serfdom.

The UT president and AD can whine to the Texas state legislature and ask why do they have to be the gatekeeper for all Texas P5 or aspiring P5 universities, but it should fall on deaf ears. Because UT created this mess before the dinosaurs roamed the land. They wanted control then, therefore the state of Texas should not give them an easy out of their gatekeeper role.

And I am never one for subsidizing anything. So it takes a lot for me to admit that UT needs to be the thoughtful big brother here. If UT played nice over all those years, they should be off the hook.
