Texas Legislature May Get Involved In UT-SEC Rumor

(Austin, TX) — The Texas Legislature may get involved to keep the Texas Longhorns from leaving the Big 12.

Plano Republican Representative Jeff Leach tweeted on Thursday he was working on legislation requiring a House and Senate vote on UT’s potential conference home. Leach and Lubbock GOP Representative Dustin Burrows also accused the Longhorns of not being transparent.

Rumors started circulating on Wednesday that both Texas and Oklahoma approached the SEC about becoming members.
