Texas didn't want to play and still doesn't because A&M made a decision to leave the state of Texas for a conference. Plain and simple. I don't know why this article even came up, maybe because a new AD was named for Texas, but the fact remains the same that Texas OOC schedule is booked with teams like USC, Ohio State, Notre Dame till 2020.
Correct. College Station has relocated to western Louisiana.

The only school to benefit from a game is Texas, as of today. Of course, that could change, but that is fact.

There is no beneficial reason for A&M to play Texas.
