There are rumors going around that should Notre Dame not accept another overture from the Big Televen to join their conference, The Conference That Can't Count will pursue texas university. Since texas basically won't go anywhere without Texas A&M in tow (I don't think the politicos in the Texas Legislature will allow it), this would be a move that would effect A&M.
However, I believe the travel costs for the non-revenue sports like women's swimming and men's tennis, et al., would make such a move cost prohibitive.
A move to another conference would also mean texas would be playing A&M and Oklahoma as out-of-conference games, which means they would only have two non-conference games to start the season that are already pre-determined. I don't see either A&M or Oklahoma changing the game dates they've had for years now, so it would royally screw with texas' conference schedule, if they made the move.
I wouldn't mind seeing A&M and texas in different conferences, mainly b/c it would strengthen the perception of college football in Texas. With two schools in two different BCS conferences, the schools could play each other at the end of the season, and regardless of who wins, it won't effect their ability to win their respective conferences and go to a BCS bowl. The situation they had in Florida with UF in the SEC, FSU in the ACC, and Miami in the Big East is a perfect example of this situation.
Regardless, I don't see this move happening.
