re: Possible legit reason why TU won't play TAMU.

You are about a team who was hellbent on saving what will be a joke of a conference, and now refuses to expand it to 12 so that they don't have to play a conference championship game like the rest of us. Texas knows their national brand gets them in the title game as long as they go undefeated, so if you are a threat to actually beat them, they are not going to voluntarily schedule you.
