.There are of course, two main arguments against looking at the Horns: one is, of course, geography. The Horns' farthest opponent in the Big 12 is closer than the closest Big Ten team and current Big Ten rules require teams to come from states that are home to or else border current members. However, the extra money the Longhorns bring, plus the exciting rivalries likely to develop, will more than outweigh this argument
According to this article it's true. Then again, rules are meant to be changed...

I'm sure the Big 10 would change the rules to let Texas in.

can a mod merge these threads seriously. I'm sick of keeping up with 2 Texas to the B10 threads. they are asking a lot of the same questions.
