At the end of the day, it's still considered an out of state school. It will be harder to convince a player to leave Texas when they have two great options in-state that have more money than OU.
The competition for spots in Texas schools, and outside of Texas for Texas students, has created a situation, for the last decade and a half, where OU and Ark aren't really viewed in a negative way. A successful Texas high school student who wants to go to a large public university looks at Texas and A&M and then OU and then Ark.
Athletes care even less about "in state". A Dallas athlete's family is just as close to Norman as they are to Austin and College Station.

So long as there are scholly limits, there will be plenty of talent to go around.
I laugh at aggie fans, we have been crooting against UT and those weirdos for a 100 years and OU is in the top 10 of every historical category.

Glad SMU was mentioned. They are an interesting story here.
Their rise, if it happens, will be at the expense of the SEC western schools.
