Also consider that Texas needs a home for all of their other sports. The basketball program is quite good, and the baseball program is arguably one of the top 2-3 in the country. They are quite successful in many of their other sports as well.
If they went independent in football (which would kill the Big-"12"), where would their other sports find a home that would be acceptable?
