Come on Drunkenguy!!! How do you think that the crumbling of the Big 12 is good for UT?

Because A&M getting away from Baylor/Tech means Texas can do the same.

A&M is going to take a bigger wedge of you recruiting base

The state of Texas cranks out about 400 FBS football players a year. We'll get a good group of 20 from that group regardless of the aggie's conference. Texas will be fine.

I want Texas in the Big 10 for selfish geographical reasons but the West Coast trips sound cool to me.

Longhorn football is not in a better place with A&M gone

If we end up in the Pac 16 or Big 10, it is definitely in a better place.

If you're a recruit, do you want to play in a conference that's playing for national championships year in and year out? Or in a conference that might implode at any second and offers road trips to the stunning football venues of Ames, Iowa, and Waco, Texas?

Recruits want to play for a team that is currently winning.

Texas has been in the top 3 of the country 2 of the last 3 seasons. A&M hasn't had a top 5 finish in over half a century. Texas played for a national title in the last calendar year. A&M last played for a title in the 30s.
