I think the true answer lies somewhere in between.
Other conferences want Texas, and Texas is willing to go if it's a better situation for them, but I don't think the Longhorns are sittin' there with bags packed waiting to bolt, either. They've got a pretty sweet deal in the Big XII right now, so there's no reason for them to go anywhere unless it improves their situation.
But just the publicity associated with being the top target for all these conferences has to be beneficial to them, too - particularly from a recruiting perspective.
