Eh, its a tough question. Right now aTm is leading the charge but Texas is, and has been, a life long brand in that state. Folks who have spent some time in Texas understand this. Its not a knock on aTm but its the reality.
Now, Texas needs to get out of the Big 12 with a quickness otherwise aTm will surpass them for good.
Make no mistake, the move to the SEC was an "all in" play by aTm and the longer Texas/Austin sits in the pathetic Big 12 the more the signs point to
aTm making the permanent move to the head of the table in Texas hierarchy
Stillwater,Aimes,Lawrence,Manhatten, Morgantown,Norman.... If I were a Texas recruit, Im sure, all things being equal, that I would chose that over the SEC West/cross divisional schedule.
The signs on the wall folks. SEC Network money. Conference prestige..we are all lucky to be here. Especially the "Low earners", you know who you are.
Think about that, "The Big 12" what a shite conference.

Their own arrogance is keeping them there. The whole narrative about TCU being an "upgrade" over A&M is what kept Baylor in line.
Now that Baylor and Iowa State have directly and publicly tied their stadium renovations to remaining members of the Big 12 and having it be a "power" conference, if Texas leaves, they actually have a claim for damages and can make it like trying to escape one of the traps in the movie Saw.
Not only that, but the "grant of rights" goes through 2025.

Naw, Mizzou tricked them into signing that 10+ year GOR before they left. Even Texas can't afford the hundreds of millions of dollars it would take to break a GOR.
Eventually they will leave the Big 12 and be fine, a ten year period isn't long enough to kill their program. I hope it is long enough to pretty much kill every other Big 12 program. The fewer regional recruiting rivals the better.
