Well if you're interested in an honest argument, which I don't think you are, just limiting it to national championships is way too binary of an argument. Obviously.
Texas has a grand total of one national championship since 1970. Are you gonna tell me Texas hasn't had any success since 1970 outside of 2005? Because that's exactly what your post implies.
Yeah, I didn't think so.

The whole A&M hasn’t won a national championship since 1939 dig, albeit still sad, is really just a troll shot on message boards. National championships aren’t the only barometer of success but you don’t want to start going into the other barometers. You guys say Texas has underachieved (which they have), it looks really bad for A&M since 1970.
AP top 10 finishes since 1970:
Texas - 14
Texas A&M -7
AP top 25 finishes since 1970:
Texas - 32
Texas A&M - 22
Conference championships:
Texas - 13
Texas A&M - 8
A&M hasn’t played for a conference title since 1998…

Texas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, and a lot of the SEC schools (plus some Ohio State) are already getting all of the top 50 players in the state right now.
The difference is, that over the past 10 years or so 5-10 of the top 50 are going to Tech, TCU, Baylor, Oklahoma State, etc and a larger percentage of the top 100 players in the state are going to those schools. I don't think it changes the paradigm in the state much at all for the schools that will be in the SEC, but with Oklahoma and Texas in the SEC, there will be a clear division between an offer from an SEC school vs an offer from a Big 12 school that was not as strong as long as Texas and OU were in the Big 12.
It would be unthinkable if, for example, after the move the number one player in the state chose TCU as happened just 2 years ago.

There is a reason the Aggie admin and coaches pitched a fit when it was leaked That Oklahoma and TexASS were Joint the sec. they don’t want to be upstaged by two new teams that perennially beat the aggies like a rented mule.....
