It doesn't make any sense when UT is the biggest prize available (even moreso than Notre Dame) and a massive improvement over anyone else - while the difference between TT/KS and the other options (assuming BYU is a non starter - UNLV? NM? Houston? Missouri? TCU? Boise St? SDSU?) really isn't much at all. Plus, Kansas may have another option (Big East), but where else is TT in danger of going? Just as the B10 will hold their (potential) 16th spot open for Notre Dame unless absolutely forced, so will the PAC-10 with Texas.

I do know that the Mizzou Rivals site reported late last week that Mizzou was offered a spot in the Pac-XX once A&M defects. The Mizzou admins declined the offer.
