Unfortunately, I rarely see them mentioned by B12 fans except in negative ways (poor attendence, horrific BB, etc.). I would try to get the ACC to take them and try to land TTU instead. Pushes the SEC west a bit more than they might like, but TTU is a clear 3rd among Texas schools and they draw much better than Baylor, TCU or any other school that is not named Texas or A&M. Or let TCU go to the ACC and try to land WVU instead.

Yeah, if we were going to push as far west as Lubbock I would just as soon we add Colorado State for the additional market.

I think Tech officials would agree with you unless Texas goes to the SEC. Both administrations have tied ourselves with each other and I seriously doubt one goes without the other. The University of Texas knows the value we offer and what we would offer the PAC 12 or SEC.

Jr knows this from PM's. I have no desire to see Tech in the SEC( although beating aggy again would be well worth it). Location wise we just don't fit despite a good portion of our alums being from/living in Houston & DFW.

That being said, I wouldn't mind seeing LSU, Ark, Ole Miss and Auburn in Lubbock.
