For sure, we dropped down to FCS when the SWC made it clear they had NO interest in adding us. There is even a clip of a North Texas game during the period I am thinking about where the commentators are mentioning Big 8 consideration. By the early 90s when Arkansas left it was assumed the SWC was going to die and/or jettison TCU, Baylor, Rice, Houston, SMU and add higher profile programs. Big 8 decided to add the teams UT Austin and Texas A&M approved of. And stories say Governor Ann Richards made sure that Baylor didn’t get left out. Otherwise I think it is common belief that Houston would not have gotten left out. I don’t believe even Texas Tech felt like they were completely safe from being an orphan program. Although I welcome people familiar with Texas Tech history to correct me if I am wrong about that.
if we have defensive players who have rarely touched the field in 2 yrs on the worst defense in the country, then probably a good thing their transferring and freeing up a spot
