When the decision was made at Mizzou, that bell simply could not be un-rung.

FSU and Clemson are facing a radically different situation which pretty much demands that they leave if they can.

I guess I didn't realize that Texas dropped the Longhorn Network and there was some long-term granting of rights before Mizzou left.
