发帖数: 764 | 1 Once again the twitterverse has exploded with rumors of Texas A&M moving to
the SEC. The latest story is that lawyers representing A&M has sent a letter
of intent to the SEC and that all the member schools have already voted to
accept the Ags. I was under the impression that A&M would announce their
intention to join the Southeastern Conference this spring. The Ags did not
want any distractions during football season and definitely did not want to
receive the "officiating" that Nebraska got during their farewell tour of
the Big 12 last year. It looks like the timeline has been sped up. Billy
Liucci is reporting that although the Ags are not going to make a move this
week or the next, the wheels are definitely in motion.
Star-divide
As you may imagine, the Ags are worried about possible political backlash so
they have been trying to keep this quiet. With the recent rumors that Tech
has been talking to the Pac 12 about moving West (and likely taking OU and
OSU with them) we may not have to deal as many issues with the legislature
as some had thought. Right now I would guess that Missouri would try to go
to the Big 10 again. Kansas and KSU will make a move for the Big East.
Baylor will do everything they can to go to the Pac 12 with everyone else.
I think Tech's recent overtures to the Pac 12 are due to ESPN and the LHN
offering Tech a deal to televise the Tech-tu game this year. Supposedly ESPN
and the LHN offered Tech $5 million to televise the conference game this
year, and the promise to televise games against Nevada and New Mexico in
future years on the LHN. To his credit, Tech President Kent Hance turned
down the offer. It is plain to see from their actions (and Liucci stated as
much) that tu and ESPN fully intend to broadcast a second football game on
the LHN this year, and intend to go forward with televising high school
games. It does not matter what Deloss Dodds and his puppet Dan Beebe tell
you, they are going to try to televise those games this year. If I were a tu
alum I would be embarrassed by the lack of integrity from my athletic
director.
I was impressed with Hance's actions and I hope that Tech is accepted into
the Pac 12. I hope none of the other teams in the Big 12 agree to take ESPN'
s bribe and let the LHN televise one of their games with tu this year. It
looks like everyone knows what kind of people they are dealing with now, and
are acting accordingly. I hope we can get this process done shortly. The
SEC is where we belong and is the best option for the future of Texas A&M. |

发帖数: 5100 | 8 Well, in 90's most tx recruits went to A&M. Just like california and florida
, kids can have a lot choices.
Once tx goes independent, I think what will hurt them the most is the
scheduling: no team with 9 conference games would be willing to play tx
consistently.

发帖数: 3809 | 13 Why would it be a good thing for OU? If Texas and OU still play each other
every year, then I think it won't make much of a difference for OU whether
Texas goes independent or not. If the Texas-OU game is no longer played
every year, then it might actually hurt OU in terms of revenue, media
exposure, and recruiting.
