I disagree somewhat - Scott knows that super-conferences are the future, and there are precious few appealing options that the Pac-12 will have if/when that comes to pass. If that means taking Oklahoma/Oklahoma State while Texas goes the independent route or to the Big Ten, I think Scott would have to do it.
That said, I think Texas is going to have a hard time going independent. Obviously they could pull it off just fine in football, but what about all their other sports? BYU could do it because, frankly, their other sports aren't a big deal, and so placing them in the WCC was a viable solution. What would Texas do with their other sports? Conference USA or the Sun Belt? I have my doubts...
Joining the Pac-12 would make a lot of sense, as would the Big Ten.
