Yeah, it doesn't make sense for Texas to choose the Big Ten over the Pac 10. They figure to make similar money with the new TV network in the Pac 10, plus they get significant more stature/power in the Pac 10. In the big ten, they don't face Oklahoma or Texas Tech in conference, the Pac 10 both are conf games. In the big ten, they have to compete against Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State and what looks like Notre Dame for supremacy. In the Pac 10, it's just a sanctioned USC and Oklahoma.

All things point to Texas getting more control, stature and power in the Pac 10 - without the need to use non-conf spots on their 2 big rivals (Tech and OK). Given the money is similar between both offers, I don't see any reason Texas would choose the Big Ten over the Pac 10. It's just not logical.
