Not a single Texas fan expects a red carpet. I keep seeing this blabbered and it makes zero sense - how is that your genuine read of the situation?
As for the people "being a pussy" about this, the vast majority of UT fans responding to (much less, even aware of) Yormack's comment are diehard CFB fanatics. All care about their own team, but most also love the sport in general. A fundamental pillar of CFB, like all sports, is fair competition.
At minimum, regardless of what school you support, we should all be able to agree on these things without debate:
Biased officiating is directly at odds with fair competition and threatens the integrity of all sports, CFB included.
Officiating bias is not a conspiracy, instances have been exposed at both the amateur and professional level.
Bias in any setting (sports or otherwise) is often motivated by financial reasons and, when within a company or other organization, starts at the top (management).
CFB involves and is increasingly influenced by incredible sums of money.
Any given conference's refs are trained, reviewed, managed, employed (and reprimanded or fired) and paid by the conference.
That relationship in (5) puts each conference in a position of influence over its refs' actions on the field.
In matters not requiring the vote of conference members/schools, the commissioner of any given conference is the ultimate "boss," and conference officiating is one of those matters.
If true that we can agree on all that, absent hatred for UT or your own fandom clouding things, I don't know how you could then deny that Yormack saying what he did does matter. That it was a public display of bias, bias that could (arguably should) be expected to flow to "his" referees and risk any game involving UT or OU not being a fair competition. A direct attack on the integrity of the game. Even taking off my burnt orange glasses, I would be pissed if the tables were turned and he had said the same thing about TTU, ATM, Baylor, etc. instead of UT, or another conference's commissioner had said it about any two of its members.
TV networks, colleges and their own financial and other interests have negatively influenced CFB in many ways, but do you know the critical distinction? At least it does not directly influence individual outcomes of plays during the 60 minutes on field. Fuck anyone, anything, that threatens the actual integrity of those 60 minutes. Those minutes are the "game" we all love (changing the conference patches on uniforms doesn't means shit). Double fuck anyone that makes that threat publicly, brazenly and with a smug, shit eating smile.
Any true fan should want a conference and its refs to do everything in their power to support a fair competition, a glorious contest of modern-day gladiators where the best team that day wins or loses by actual play on a perfectly level field — not influenced by some jilted corporate bureaucrat putting thumbs on the scale in response to realignment decisions made years ago or the future financial interests of shareholders. That sort of influence is precisely what threatens the joy of the fan experience as you put it: "playing the games, watching the games, having fun, talking shit."
So yeah, if you couldn't tell by this novel, I care. It's serious, relevant and matters. What is done may be done, but backlash should be expected and any true fan of CFB should take issue or at minimum not publicly endorse (or downplay) a conference behaving in this way, assuming they aren't too stupid to recognize the broader implication and/or set aside their own bias. You're right that fans and media calling out Yormack's attack won't bring the proverbial dead dog, but at minimum it signals to commissioners that this type of mindset and action is not acceptable and fundamentally at odds with the role conferences have and the sanctity of the game.
If caring about CFB and fair competition in sports and calling out a threat to those makes me a pussy, consider me Hope Solo's meat flaps. Though I would say you're the pussy for condoning what Yormack did and actively discouraging others from calling out his bullshit, for being too chickenshit or dumb to recognize why it should be offensive (and concerning) to all CFB fans or at least respecting those who do after it's been explained.
