Co-champs of the division, not the Co-champs of the entire conference. If any school did this, I would blast them.

Technically they were Big12 co-champs that season. That's how it reads everywhere. They aren't re-writing anything.

While the team playing in the championship game is popularly regarded as the divisional champion, the Big 12 does officially recognize co-champions in football, just like it does in other sports. As a result, the following teams are also recognized as champions by the Big 12:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ence_championsNumber of football les by school:
Oklahoma: 7 (8 South Division)
Texas: 3 (7 South Division)
Nebraska: 2 (8 North Division)
Colorado: 1 (4 North Division)
Kansas State: 1 (4 North Division)
Texas A&M: 1 (3 South Division)
Missouri: 0 (3 North Division)
Iowa State: 0 (1 North Division)
Kansas: 0 (1 North Division)
Texas Tech: 0 (1 South Division)
Baylor: 0
Oklahoma State: 1

The obvious interpretation by anyone who is not a postmodernist linguistic equivocator is that Texas A&M is recognized as a division co-champion, not a conference co-champion.
It is part of leftist ideology to denigrate true achievement and elevate mediocrity. You see it everywhere from participation trophies to grade inflation to "you didn't build that." Anyone who claims that Texas A&M won the Big 12 Conference in 1997 or 2010 is a ing communist and not a true Texan.
Texas A&M should focus on actually accomplishing difficult things rather than rewriting past history to pretend they accomplished things they never actually did. That's like what black people do when they claim the 'Great Zimbabwe' was the equivalent of the Great Wall of China or that the Semitic ancient Egyptians were actually sub-Saharan Africans.
Everyone realizes that claiming the conference championships is re ed. Saying that, I dgaf about all that anymore. If we were still in the big 12 then I might.
