UT hardly reps the Big 12 in football nowadays. Obviously they can return to that position perhaps one day but when Oklahoma is pounding the team that won 3 out of the 4 last NC's into submission I think it's pretty safe to say who's #1 in the Big 12.
Texas is the #1 money maker in all of college football. Isn't that a rather BIG part of the entire discussion that's been had in this thread?

And they're the last Big 12 team to rep your conference with a National Title in college FB, the engine that drives the machine that we speak of. If that doesn't make them the flagship school for the Big 12, then I guess we have differing definitions of 'flagship'.

I know the OK win over Bama was a big feather in your conference's cap, but methinks we might be losing sight of the big picture here.

There's a reason ESPN financially backed The Longhorn Network as opposed to the Sooner Network, the Jayhawk network, the Cowboy network, etc. etc.
