He could still be growing, like Rodman, and that could be a bonus.

Ann Richards was not involved. She found it amusing that anyone thought she cared. The 3 most important politicians involved were Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock and State Senators David Sibley and John Montford. Montford a UT graduate represented Lubbock and would later go on to be Chancellor of Texas Tech. Sibley represented Waco and was a Baylor alum. Bullock had a BA from Tech and Law Degree from Baylor.

This would require North Texas to get legislative approval to leave a conference and we would have to wait until the regular session which occurs every two years and lasts about 5 and 1/2 months.
