If Gene Stallings has his way they will be:

Texas A&M regent Gene Stallings — the former Texas A&M and Alabama football coach — said Thursday that it’s conceivable that Texas and Texas A&M could go their own separate ways and join different conferences, but said any Texas/Pac-10 and Texas A&M/SEC talk is only conjecture until concrete options are laid out before both schools.
Meanwhile, as was reported Thursday, Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds and Texas A&M athletic director Bill Byrne met today to discuss what happens next for the two schools. That meeting is taking place in Austin, and despite other Internet reports, did not include representatives from Baylor or Texas Tech, a Longhorns official told us.
“I would think there would be a possibility, but to say they’d definitely do that …?†said Stallings, who now is a Texas A&M regent. “I don’t know who all will be involved. But I’d be stupid not to say that. Whether it’s much of a possibility, I don’t know. I’m not going to venture out on that until I know what all the options are.†A&M and Texas could probably join the Southeastern Conference if they desired, but Texas school officials have steadfastly maintained they are not interested in that option.
