Longhorn Network, Texas venture that once rattled Big 12, has run its course | Jefferson City News-Tribune

When the Longhorn Network launched in 2011, the 20-year, $300-million partnership with ESPN set up Texas with its own 24-hour television showcase that sent shockwaves across college sports some say can still be felt today. Rivals in the Big 12 Conference bitterly complained the swaggering...

so yeah, UT-Austin's greed cause the decline of the Big XII and arrivals of new teams from non-power 5 conferences, Texas & Oklahoma's departure and Pac-12's death is causing it's resurrection.
