Knowing Big XII politics, probably so. Texas, up to this point, has been an implacable foe of expansion. For them to come out and support an expansion candidate pretty much tells you that the price of them supporting expansion is going to be taking their preferred candidate. I'd say this is also a good indication that they are going to take four new teams--if they do, they can take three teams to make a 7-team northern division (KU, KSU, ISU, WVU, + 3) and add UH to the other six (OU, OSU, Tech, TCU, Baylor, Texas) to make a southern division.
