Texas opens its final Big 12 volleyball schedule this weekend in Norman, Oklahoma. Losing the Longhorns will have a seismic effect on the conference's volleyball, which has been dominated by either Texas or Nebraska for the past 28 years. Nebraska won at least a share of 12 conference titles before it left for the Big Ten in 2011, and Texas has won a share of at least 15. Each school won two national titles as Big 12 programs, and they produced 26 of the 29 conference player of the year awards.

Who have been the elite players in the Big 12 since it formed in 1996? And what would an all-Texas team look like in the Big 12 before the Longhorns' departure for the SEC in July? The Statesman takes a look.
