This development could be a fairly big wrench thrown into the gears of change

Texas lawmakers file bill to block UT-Austin from leaving Big 12 for SEC
The move is largely symbolic as the legislative session has been ground to a halt by the quorum-busting Democrats who fled Texas 11 days ago. Even if the Democrats returned, Abbott would have to add the item to his special session agenda for it to have a chance at passing.



Their basis for this is the collateral impact Texas’ departure would have on the other in state schools and economies. They’re not wrong, and they have every right to take this action.

Key phrase: The move is largely symbolic ....

Legislatures may pontificate, but at least in this case TX will not enact any legislation to stop Horns from moving to SEC. Remember, above all else, money drives the train.

It’s only symbolic because of the current antics by state democrats. That won’t last in perpetuity. Eventually, the state government must function.

Agreed about the money, but if you’re drawing the box around the state of Texas not just one university, I honestly don’t have a guess how this would go down if brought to the state house for a full vote.

State legislatures with an interest in A&M, Baylor, TexasTech, TCU are no votes.
