Just let it go, man. You, as you repeatedly say, are in the conference you want to be in. Be in that conference, you really don't have to speculate on ours any longer. Be free of it.
Texas is exactly where they want to be. Texas already has gobs of money, there is a point of diminishing returns. Texas wants to be in a region where it can play OU and a lot of Texas schools. That is what Texas wants. I know you don't believe it, but Texas is actually very happy where they are, I know, I converse with quite a few of their alumni.
OU was a bit discontent, but now they are very happy. I doubt you actually frequent Big 12 boards, but the general mood there is actually quite positive. I know that's difficult for you and the Aggies to believe, but once you two announced your final intentions and we invited our new members, there's actually quite the feeling of camaraderie I hadn't experienced since we invited the four SWC schools to join.
So, if you really have to keep repeating the same old diatribe, without a shred of anything to back it up, in the faint glimmering hope the B12 (which you were once a founding member of) is going to go "poof" and justify every irrational fear you directed towards big bad Texas as well as the mountain of various manners to say "I told you so" to your envy to the west, then I guess that is the Hell you have decided to call home.

1. ND is my primary team, so I know full well all about their options. They can go to pretty much any conference that they want (although the Pac-12 might be an issue). They choose to stay independent and are powerful enough that they were included in the playoff talks with conference commissioners.
2. UT unlike the aforementioned schools that I highlighted has flirted not once, but twice with the Pac-12. IN THE LAST TWO YEARS mind you. Kinda odd for a school that is supposedly "exactly where they want to be".
