I don't know... I have to think the 14 team Big Ten + Nebraska, Texas, and ND would generate so much money that Texas would at least have to consider leaving behind Tech and Oklahoma (although maybe that was impossible politically and legally). I guess they were holding out to see if they could get the Big Ten to accept them as a package the way the Pac-10 was willing to, but that was almost certainly a non-starter for the Big Ten.
I guess now they wait and see how the Pac-10 network goes... if it takes off then moving there with the rest of the South is a no-brainer. If it doesn't take off, I guess they have a tough decision....
