It really wasn't the legislature per se, as much as it was the sitting Governor (Ann Richards) and more importantly Lieutenant Governor (Bob Bullock) both being Baylor grads. Right now, Gov. Perry (aka Goodhair) is a massive A&M alumni and supporter, so I'd imagine in today's Texas political environment, if anything happens before the fall elections, then A&M would be the new Baylor in any realignment discussions. The current political regime wouldn't give two shits about Baylor or any other Texas school outside of UT-Austin or A&M.
