I'm not sure that they find it 'more desirable'. My understanding is that Texas was never seriously considered by the Big Ten. For Texas, the Pac-10 is the only other option if they want to get on the right end of the conference realignment and nail down some major funding.
And just to make sure it doesn't get taken the wrong way, I'm not downplaying Texas in any way. With a little closer proximity, I have no doubt that Texas would be a shoe-in.
