Interesting question.

I'm not sure how Texas would handle being second fiddle in another conference, but about Texas' in-state rivalry with A&M, one could argue that Texas is already second fiddle to Texas A&M because Texas is in a second rate conference, A&M's televised games have had more viewers in recent years, and A&M passed Texas in revenue this year.

A&M is doing very well in a lot of areas these days, and good for them.  But I get the impression from my fellow Texas fans is that there's really no need to fret about A&M just yet.

Yes, A&M passed Texas in revenues this year, just like Oregon passed Texas one year.  Let's see if happens again or was just a blip because of one time donations for their stadium renovations.

[A better barometer might be the fact that the athletic department at Texas donates several million dollars to the University each year while Texas A&M has been having to loan their athletic department tens of millions each year for nearly a decade].

And yes A&M has been enjoying success while Texas has been struggling.  But let's see what happens when Texas gets back on its feet.
