and took the Big 12 down with it.
The similarities between the Irish and Longhorns is really quite remarkable. Both sold their souls for lucrative TV deals and the long-term results have been close to disastrous for both programs. I think the big TV contracts gave each program, its players and its fans an even greater sense of entitlement than the already possessed, and both programs have suffered because of it.
Add to that some bad coaching hires and it's going to be a while before either ND or UT ascend to the top of the college football world again. And UT joining the SEC would only worsen its problems in terms of W-L records. So, in the end, Texas joining the SEC could wreck the Longhorn program long before UT wrecks the SEC.
