I don't know. Texas has probably one of the easiest paths to a championship than almost anyone. Beat up on the the lower teams in the conference and beat OK, and they are pretty much guaranteed a playoff spot every time. They have all the power in the conference, and they ain't hurtin for money at all.

A&M has to get through a much tougher conference and the chances for them to win the SEC is pretty hard. Hell they have to get past LSU just to win their division. Then they gotta get past whoever is coming out of the SEC East. But on the other side of the coin, they are out from under Texas shadow and they are making a lot more money.

Probably why Texas doesn't wanna expand the Big 12. No championship game to have to worry about, and usually only one team that can challenge them in the conference.

This is the primary reason I just cannot understand why teams want to get into the $EC. You play a murders row of teams, get people hurt, become physically drained, just for the opportunity to BE IN the NCG (which you still aren't guaranteed), to play a team like Fla. St. who has a relatively easy schedule in the ACC. I think it's just plain silly.
