Be Proud of Texas

I realize that. And the scholarship limits were in place last year too, and 10 years ago. UT being strong just doesnt help SMU these days. If anything the Big 12 hype hurts because it helps the schools we do recruit against like Kansas, Missouri, Baylor and Iowa State.

If more better want to stay in Texas, then more better will be available after the Texas 25

Didn't you hear the BCS wants to increase the number of scholarships? That would lock up more players. If each Big XII school in Texas took 25 players out of the Top 100, guess what, there goes the top Texas 100. If OU took a few, OSU took a few, LSU took a few, Arkansas took a few, KU, MU, KSU, CU all took a few, you're closing in on the Top 200. What's left? Toaster leavins for SMU, Rice, UTEP, Tulsa, TCU, UH.

Yet, every year SMU TCU get a few State 100s. You forget that the overwhelming push in the 90s was for the better ones to LEAVE the state.

I totally disagree with this. What's good for UT is good for UT, then the Big XII, then the BCS and certainly not CUSA schools. If we were still in the same conference with them, I would tend to agree with that statement. But not now. Those that UT turns down will flock to other Big XII schools to be able to say that they played against the Horns.

Yup
