Coaching, plus...
Texas and Texas A&M playing on Thanksgiving (+1) for over a hundred years was the game between schools in Texas. If you were a bluechip in Texas, you were going to be either an Aggie or Longhorn (OU will always get theirs, sure).
By not playing the game, Texas and the Aggies gave away a hugely important advantage: win that game, you get the recruits. Go on a streak, lock down the state.
This allowed programs like Baylor and TCU to sneak in based on their accomplishments -- and they have done well for themselves.
Texas moving to the SEC and restarting the series will see the end of Baylor and TCU's run.

Baylor and TCU recruiting is, and has always been, arse compared to Texas. That is a poor excuse. Truth is, they get guys who want to be there. Texas gets guys who want to be in the pros. Same to some extent for Aggies
