Fox is a California network and they have worked their magic showing Texas what a benefit the California connection would be in creating a new network. Of course Gee is posturing, but there is no way the Big Ten is hooking Texas. I am so confident I will quit this board if that comes to pass.

But, Texas to the Big Ten is not happening. Texas wants to control the negotiations of their television contract and do not want to travel north for all their games. The Pac Ten is letting Texas bring their choice of teams, with the only caveat that they play the Arizona teams, which actually wants.
