Texas A&M Leaving For SEC?

[slow99]

I think you will be looking at 4 super conferences in the coming years. I have not decided if I like the thought of that but its all about money.

Definitely where we're headed in my opinion. I also have emails and seen numerous aggies say that the Board of Regents accelerated their meeting to discuss/approve/announce the move.

Sources on hookem.com and a few other ND Irish boards have stated both Texas AD and ND AD have discussed ND joining the B12 along with BYU

Nobody on this today?

The SEC dropped them like a bad habit. It's funny how OU and UT decided to stick it out in the Big 12 (partially due to A&M crying), then the Ags try to flee.

The Ags will go, but the SEC didn't want to open themselves up to a lawsuit with the Big 12. It might cost A&M $20 million, but they've got the cash.

Are you sure about that?

I've heard some people have stepped up to help with the money thing.

Those better be some big ass steps

Its been stated Texas A&M would be on the hook for possibly more than $20 million....Fox Sports could void the 13 year - $1 billion contract signed with the BIG 12, if Texas A&M left....

And if Fox voided the contract due to Texas A&M leaving, then Texas A&M would have another lawsuit and possibly be on the hook for any amount lost due to them leaving(breach of contract)

Well its official....A&M will be in the SEC starting 2012

Also Missouri, Clemson, and Florida State to the SEC also.

link?

link?

So, u want a link to something that isn't going to happen?

[exlude]

Really, it's a play by the SEC to get heavier into the Texas recruiting base. The aggys are just dumb enough to bite, and they've made too much of a stink about it now to turn back.
