I have no issues with any of what you wrote. I'm only highlighting that UT wants/needs revenue.
From the past performance of the football program and the pandemic, UT simply isn't drawing in revenue like they used to. If you remember "the good ol' days," the UT AD used to have one heck of a purse. So, even though folks are still (rightfully) pissed over some seriously bad ref'ing, it's always about the money.
The UT Football Program was happy to go to the MCB, and would do so again, if offered.
