Everything else is noise.
(remember how ya'll celebrated getting in, yet it wasn't quite a done deal yet? That was because they were trying to get us as a package deal but wanted us to drop ESPN's LHN and bring OU with us instead of Texas Tech)
based on your own merits and not the bigger prize of Texas which would also put pressure on OU? Lolz, delusions of grandeur.

This is not about why Texas came to the SEC. It's about why Aggie ran away. And Aggie will run away again.
But nice try to get this off the scent of truth.

1) OU is your rival
2) What year did you graduate Texas State? Or did you even go to college?

A potential move for Texas A&M from the SEC to the Big Ten would be a highly unlikely and complex decision, but there are several reasons why an athletic program might consider such a shift, even if it seems far-fetched. Here are some potential factors that could drive such a decision:
1. Financial Considerations
TV Rights & Media Revenue: The Big Ten's lucrative media deals, especially with networks like Fox and ESPN, have historically outpaced other conferences, including the SEC. If Texas A&M sees an opportunity for greater revenue sharing in the Big Ten, they could be motivated to consider the move.
Long-Term Financial Stability: The Big Ten, with its national presence and large media contracts, might offer more long-term financial security for Texas A&M's athletics department, which is always a major factor in realignment decisions.
2. Academic Prestige
The Big Ten is often viewed as a conference with a strong emphasis on academics, with schools like Michigan, Northwestern, and others holding high academic reputations. Texas A&M might find that moving to a conference with more academic peers could benefit its overall institutional image and partnerships.
3. Competitive Balance
Football Recruiting: Texas A&M, despite being in the SEC, might feel that joining the Big Ten offers a more favorable path to playoff contention. The SEC is incredibly competitive, with schools like Alabama, Georgia, and LSU constantly dominating, while the Big Ten (while strong) could provide a less daunting challenge year-to-year.
Basketball & Other Sports: The Big Ten is known for having strong programs in basketball, wrestling, and other sports, which could offer Texas A&M more competitive balance across its athletics programs.
4. Geographic and Recruiting Considerations
Regional Influence: The SEC has traditionally dominated recruiting in the southern United States. While Texas A&M has benefited from its Texas roots, moving to the Big Ten could give them access to a new recruiting base in the Midwest and Northeast, which may help diversify their recruiting pool.
Travel & Logistics: While moving to the Big Ten would involve significant travel, particularly for teams in the western part of the conference, Texas A&M might value the regional rivalries and historic matchups (such as with Michigan, Ohio State, and others).
5. Rivalry and Conference Alignment
Rivalries: The SEC's strength, particularly in football, could be overwhelming, and Texas A&M may find it difficult to establish consistent rivalries. The Big Ten might offer opportunities for new rivalries and alignments that are more favorable to A&M’s athletic identity.
Long-Term Stability: The SEC and Big Ten are the two dominant conferences in college athletics, and both are continually growing. Texas A&M may believe that shifting to the Big Ten provides them with better future prospects, especially if the Big Ten expands further or re-aligns.
Conclusion
Though highly improbable given the strength of Texas A&M's current position in the SEC, a move to the Big Ten could theoretically offer Texas A&M advantages in terms of financial growth, academic standing, and competitiveness across a variety of sports. However, the logistics and implications of such a move would be massive and would require careful consideration of all potential risks and rewards.

You make 5 good points. Your points are well articulated and factual.
Now just add the OP as the 6th point. Granted, the articulation is less professional and perhaps even petty, but it precisely fits the motive of Aggie.
Yes. Aggie will go Big 10. Only Aggie understands the excruciating mental and yes, physical, anguish they suffer from Texas joining the SEC. This crushed every Aggie motive. It was perfect. It was spiteful. It was the middle finger in Texas' face. And it's gone.
To be sure there is no misunderstanding in how this will unfold, Texas immediately bounced Aggie out of his own stadium as a reminder of old times.
Aggie will go Big 10. I'm telling you, I know these people. It's time for that 100 year plan to take a detour.

Texas is too irrelevant to have an impact on the conference. We have too many big dogs already that have been around a long time. It will take Texas years to even earn everyone’s respect, if they ever do. That being said, I’m glad Texas and Oklahoma are here because it makes the conference as a whole better.

That's fine. But notice the eeery silence from Aggie. 9/10 Aggies would vote yes right now. You SEC peeps just don't get it. Your Bama/Auburn thing is child's play up next to this Texas culture war. None of you can possibly fathom the pain and humiliation that is stewing inside Aggie. This ain't no Call Pawl trailer park squabble.
Aggie will leave. And Longhorns won't even look up to read about it. We'll just chuckle and check on the smoker. It's not that big a deal, but just thought you might want to expect it.
