I'm not sure why there's all this UT hatred going on. Must be a bunch of closet A&M fans.
* Texas isn't afraid to go to the Big 10 and compete. They would instantly have the best football, baseball, and men's basketball teams. The Big 10 hasn't lived up to their reputation since the late 90's.
* The SEC West is deep but no deeper than the Big 12 South. The SEC East is weak other than Florida. A&M can continue to be mediocre in the SEC but have more money.
* Being in the SEC won't give A&M much of a recruiting boost if they can't get more wins. As long as Texas is winning they will continue to have their pick.
* It doesn't matter how things turn out: Texas will do well and A&M will continue to be mediocre.
