Really? Those schools have flirted? I must have missed all that drama!
There's always a period of unrest when unique situations arrive. There are many reasons the B12 was ripe for plucking, the two most obvious was that they had quality schools/teams and they are in the middle of the country. So, they were close to every other suitor.
But, as far as I can tell, UT and OU didn't go, unlike some other schools I could mention. The unrest was created by other schools, and they looked out for their own interest. Its a bit revisionist to suggest otherwise.
