Texas to WAC

The WAC has been moving from its mountain west roots to the Southwest and Texas. With one school in Louisiana and three future Texas members, it could make an ideal geographic base for the longhorns. The presence of other Texas state schools would also help mute political opposition. But the WAC? That was the sentiment before BYU nearly sealed the deal to move there last year. As the big fish (great white shark) in the small pond, Texas could set its own rules. The longhorn network stays. Football? Probably independent with scheduling agreements with WAC schools to fill those hard late season games. Olympic sports? You can bike from Austin to San Marcos or San Antonio. Competition level could take a dive, but that could be dealt with. Perhaps a few others like Kansas could be recruited to shore up basketball. Why not?
