Texas and Oklahoma get the best recruits from Texas.
A&M gets 2nd and 3rd level players. A great player is not going to choose A&M over Texas just because they will play in the SEC. I understand that the SEC is better top to bottom but the Big 12 is the perfect place for Texas players to get their value up for the NFL.
This is a terrible move for A&M on the field.
But they are in a tough spot anyway. They've been trying for decades and still never win a bowl game.
Maybe a change of scenery will help but I doubt it.
