Texas has Big 10 level academics.
So why does this matter? Texas isn't going to change their academic requirements and they were already dominating their conference even though their opponents requirements weren't (I assume) as high. How does this change when they're heading to a conference that will be on a level playing field with them on that issue.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

It means never having to see Ohio St or Michigan in the Rose Bowl.

It's not necessarily all about sports.  It looks better for the university to be associated with a bunch of other world class schools, instead of...what the Big 12 is.  I'm sure there are other reasons, but I'm too sleepy to think of any right now. 

Edit:  I just thought of this.  Another reason I would like them to be in the Big 10 is so I'd be able to see all their sports on BTN, which I get, and currently almost never watch.  Some regular season Texas baseball, which is never fucking on TV.  Maybe some track and field on a Tuesday afternoon or something.  See how the swim team is coming along (kicking ass as usual) some night when I can't sleep.  Good for me, and good for UT and the B10, I'm sure, with a bunch of people in Texas tuning in and hooking up that Big 10 revenue sharing.

Still won't happen.  Or probably won't.  Oh well.

How does the move make sense academically? How will it have an impact at all on that, either positive or negative?

I already took tommorow off for my booze filled celebration and the tatoo of Mack Brown clapping on my bicep I am having done.

Valmy my friend, I'm sorry but I will have to predict that Bama (coached by The Antichrist) will win by at least 7.  :(
