  1. Rice and SMU didn't bring anything to the table.
    Rice, in their entire history, has never made a serious commitment to football. SMU was still in their wandering in the wilderness phase. 
    When the Southwest Conference was formed, television wasn't an issue. For the most part, travel distance between the schools was the biggest deal. Rice and SMU were inside an easy travel path for just about everyone. 
    The Big 12 was about television footprint. Texas and aggy delivered Houston. Rice brought nothing to the table. The metroplex TV interests were Texas, aggy and Oklahoma.  SMU and TCU brought essentially zero to metroplex ratings. 
     
    ahem Jess Neely puts the lie to your first assertion, whippersnapper.
