[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129476191, member: 1428007"] Of all the realignment b.s. out in message board land --the most poorly thought out is the "Texas or OU want to leave" myth. Many cling to this mantra and push it daily ---"if the BIG 12 does anything then UT and OU are gone!" OU has strongly advocated and pushed for expansion while UTs current leadership hasn't said much at all if at all. Beyond that though are 8 universities that have invested hundreds of millions into their athletic programs and still have fans, boosters and alumni to satisfy. The leaders of these major institutions are NOT basing their futures on UT or OU leaving at any whim, any change of anything. If it is in their best interest to add schools thats what they'll do. They aren't going to sit back and do nothing hoping to coddle someone that doesn't want to be a part of them anyway and will simply leave at any moment as some misguided individuals still believe. UT or OU leaving has nothing to do with the reality of the situation--neither is interested in or trying to do this. [/QUOTE]
