Reluctantly A&M will head to PAC 10 with Texas, in my opinion

geographically the sec is the natural fit but politics will win out
after five years of PAC 10 mileage Texas and A&M might beg to get out
Texas wants no part of the SEC
There better off in a division with Arizona, ASU, Texas, OU, OSU, etc than a division with LSU, Bama, A&M, Auburn, Arkansas, etc.

Hence why TAMU would benefit from severing ties within the same conference with UT.

There a news story here, or just your speculation?

My take? A&M wants out of the shadow of UT, and I think they'll be able to sell recruits on playing in the SEC vs. the PAC 12-16. I believe A&M's in state recruiting will pick up.

It's one of the reasons both OU and Texas are so adamant about TAMU not doing this.

Unfortunately there is a very real chance that this happens, and our fanbase will be in an uproar if it does.

As a Blue Chip recruit with a limited family travel budget, which school would I want to play for?

As a fan i would rather travel to the school that has the best atmosphere for a game weekend. Not a conference where tailgating can only start at 2pm on a Saturday. Talk about lame. And costly. You can't pick up on a Friday and make a little drive to California.

and it's also basically a frick you to fans that like to travel to away games if they join the pac-teen
another reason why i dont understand why the fans of OU and UT would want to join the pac-teen

This, besides frick Texas! I say we add A&M and another team in the east and then we commence on whipping the arse of College Football! IMHO

travel would be cheaper in the pac 10
if Im at Texas every two years I need to go to Lubbock, College Station , OKlahoma, and Ariz
or BR, Little Rock,, Miss Bama
you only go to the coast once a year,, either,, cali/Oregon.Washington
or Tenn, Kuntucky/Fla.. Ga
its not even close

I really don't think fans think about the hassle it is to travel that far and how costly it is. LSU admin people cringed at the idea of LSU in the Rose Bowl before USC blew it a few years ago. Not saying traveling out to Washington isn't fun. But that is fun once every five years, not twice every season.

ONCE a year they will go to the west coast
and ONE game a year in AZ
both better destinations than BR/little rock will all due respect
the rest of the time its the same damn teams they play now
bascially trading out lubbock, Stillwater
for Miss and Auburn
