National and statewide perception? I doubt 18-year-old recruits give a damn about these things. What's the saying, haters gonna hate anyway? You think Colorado left because of TEXAS? That's not what their president says. Affiliating with the West Coast was in their best interests. Been to Colorado lately? Full of Californians. They recruit California like mad. Nebraska? They might say they left to hide under the Big 10's skirt because of unequal revenue sharing, but the biggest proponent of unequal revenue sharing from day one in the Big 12 was ... Nebraska. They even planned to start their own network. The Mothershuckers are lying though their teeth. Oklahoma planned to unveil their own network in August, but that fell through because they learned the hard way that it wasn't feasible in a state that's smaller than the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area alone. The more this goes on, the more A&M looks like the yipping Chihuahua, saying, "Look at me! Look at me!" Yes, to answer the OP, Texas will refuse to play the Aggies as punishment. The funniest thing about all this is that when the Texas Legislature had rumblings of hearings to stop the Aggies from going to the SEC, the Aggies squalled like babies. Now, two Aggie legislators intend to file legislation to force Texas to play the Aggies. Talk about hypocrisy.
