Greed imploded the Big 12
by Chance Woolfork
Much like greed inspired the super conference.
Texas saying "I rule this, you do what we do" killed the Big 12. Telling Nebraska, who pretty much was the "leading school" of the Big 8, that you have until Friday or else was the final blow. It was a "hah, take that" move, but Colorado acted first. Seeing that when the two conferences merged and albeit said the Big 8 is "defunct" and the Big 12 is a new conference killed the history of the Big 8 with Nebraska being leader, just so Texas could be the big fish in this pond. It was the Longhorns greed of the 80s that pushed Arkansas towards the SEC. People question whether or not Texas had something to do with all the Southwest Conference schools getting in trouble in the 80s and 90s, that they were the snitch and/or whistle-blower behind all of it. Much like Tennessee's snitch act of Alabama, Texas had to do it Texas style: nail every team in sight, including SMU and Texas A&M.
