I like the comments from 'MileHighMark'
"Why doesn't the whole state of Texas just form the BigTex. There are 12 D1 schools that are playing in your state, UT, TT, Baylor, TCU, A&M and Houston will all be in bowl games every year just like any other power conference. UTEP, UTSA, North Texas, RICE, SMU and Texas St. can fight for a bowl game every year if they schedule right. And your annual payout could be structured via performance. The conference winner gets the most money, the last place team gets the least. You lock up your entire states recruiting and your state reaps ALL the rewards of keeping it in-house. If the first 6 schools play strong non conference schedules they can keep a national presence as well as local domination, who'd deny the state P5 err P6 status? Not me...
Let Oklahoma, OSU, Kansas, KSU, WVU and ISU grab up all the Cincinatti's, Memphis', CSU's, UConn's and BYU's in D1 and make a go of it. I think they'd probably fill bowl slots too. "
