Can you imagine what kind of TV deal a Pac 12 would demand if it controlled California and Texas? Texas is looking at a situation where the SEC is becoming increasingly more wealthy and competitive than the Big 12.
Texas and California are the most fertile recruiting grounds in the country (despite all the talk about Florida). Having the four California schools and two Texas schools in the same conference would give the conference dominance over both recruiting hotbeds. The Texas schools would pick up more California recruits and vice versa.
Unfortunately, I just don't see it happening. The Texas legislature figured out ways to exclude TCU and BYU in favor of Texas Tech and Baylor and I think the idea of Texas and aTm leaving the Big 12 would inspire the Texas legislature again to block the two schools from leaving.
