Does UT now leave the Big 12?

I am convinced UT/Deloss Dodds was blocking TCU invite to the Big 12. It does not matter one way or another to me. My point is, does UT now start finding a way to leave Big 12? They did not want TCU, I am guessing another private school adds nothing to the B12 among many UT reasons. UT sees having to tote the water not only for Baylor but now TCU, I say this from a UT point of view. Here comes the SWC again, UT wants no part of it. Of course the way the conferences change who knows what happens tomorrow.
I would like to hear your opinions or thoughts.

No, if they sign this 6 year agreement for Tier 1 and 2 rights-those schools will stick-but it hasn't been signed yet

He was not blocking it. It was a unanimous vote to invite TCU.

I was not refering to recent vote. Sorry I should have been more clear about that.

When I hear about handshake conference agreements that haven't been signed, I'm always reminded of Billy Clyde Gillespie playing the Aggies. TCU don't burn a bridge unless you have orange blood on a contract for 2012. Otherwise, bend over and wait for a big BEVO.

Yeah, when you know that there's not enough support to block it, you cast your vote with the rest so the league can say it's unanimous.
