I don't think that Orangebloods article is bad -- it is actually pretty informative and doesn't seem to belittle A&M.
Looking at things rationally, if the Big 12 adds another team from Texas (and the rumor has been that adding Houston in place of A&M may appease the Texas government), I don't see how anyone can fault Texas from dropping A&M in favor of Notre Dame (and the guaranteed national TV exposure). Texas will still get 3 conference games in-state and still has (what I presume) its #1 rival left on the schedule.
From a Big East perspective, I'd love to see the Notre Dame relationship pay off for our conference. Maybe if we add some of the Big 12 North teams (Kansas, KSU, Iowa State?), to go with TCU, Texas would want to put its non-football sports in the Big East and play football independently.
