The University of Texas fan base just watched as its team got embarrassed by a top 15 opponent while its little sister Texas A&M beat a top 15 opponent by three touchdowns. Texas is also 0-2 vs independent BYU over the last three seasons, being outscored by over 50 points in those games.
Longhorn Nation will do everything it can to avoid this scenario becoming a recurring theme.
The Texas administration will realize that the Big 12 won't allow Texas the opportunity that it needs to outshine A&M.
No conference is big enough for Texas' ego (and even if the SEC were, it wouldn't be economically or practically feasible to add them).
Texas football will be independent within five years.
