I also don't think Texas goes Indy and has to put it's other sports in a conference thats below their (perceived) standards. Texas wants all of it's sports in the big leagues.

If Texas leaves the Big 12 (or the Big 12 dissolves), the Longhorn's have only three realistic choices: the B1G, the ACC, or the ACC as a Notre Dame type partial.

Then they will go to the Big10. Texas will never agree to be on island with the
ACC. They are Texas, they make more money than anybody. They do not have to settle.

Therefore the ACC is not a possibility for them. The only way they would even remotely consider the ACC, is if they brought 5 or more teams with them, i.e. a Big12 merger with the ACC. Yeah, I know Dodds once mentioned the ACC, but he was just calling David Boren's bluff about going to the PAC with OSU.

And Rutgersguy, I agree, Texas wants all of their sports in the big leagues. However, that will not prevent them from going Indy in football. If OU leaves the Big12 without Texas, then Texas would most likely go Indy football and leave their other sports teams in the Big12 with a Notre Dame type arrangement. That would be a big league for their other sports.
