Texas talent not staying in the B12. Tough enough when we had to compete with KU and ISU for the Texas players we identified...now with aTm, the rest of the schools in the SEC (in addition to B10 schools) are making in-roads in Texas. A point to consider IF the B12 every expands (Florida is better than UConn or Cincy, in that regard, IMO).
Imagine if Rudolph, Washington, Brown (OT from OU), Lazard from ISU (and others I can't pull out of my Monday night brain) would have declared and been drafted. It was just kind of weird year.
And I also don't think it is bad to say we have a conference of GREAT College Football players...some might disagree with that, and I can understand those reasons, but I just want the highest quality football in the B12 we can get.
