So let me get this straight... Aggy is now in the driver's seat??

Found this interesting tidbit...
"With the tensions between A&M and Texas at perhaps an all-time high because of the way the Horns have handled things throughout this ordeal (remember, it was the Aggies, not the Horns who presented SEVERAL ideas to keep the Big 12 together during their meeting on Thursday), I don't see how the Pac-10 could even be a viable option. It's either a kiss-and-make-up deal with both teams staying in the Big 12 or A&M goes SEC."
And, now Texas is asking OU & aTm to stay in the Big 12???
I'm all for A&M giving Texas and the Big 12 Conference in the middle finger and letting them join the SEC. Can you imagine the money we'd make on visitors? The Arkansas and LSU fans will confirm, the Aggies travel VERY well and spend tons of cash. They'll fit in fine with our beloved-SEC.

I believe it will happen. The Ags are SEC bound IMO.
A&M's power brokers are in a meeting discussing this right now. The meeting started 15 minutes ago.

I hope you're right. As I've stated before, I liked things just the way they were (with 12 SEC teams that I'm completely content with), but for some reason I've gotten really excited about the possibility of A&M joining the SEC.

Texas is desperate to keep A&M now that they've moved over to wanting to stay in the Big 12 (hell, they NEED A&M in the league at this point), ESPN would love nothing more than to block Fox and the inevitable Pac-10 Network from grabbing the entire Western and Southwest US market with a Pac-16 Super Conference. Their way of doing so would be to do the Big 12 deal and, in the process, get Texas, A&M and OU locked up long-term. The Horns, of course, would get their coveted network (which A&M could do too if they wanted...and anyone else in the league for that matter).
Still, even with that, at the end of the day, Powers and Texas will be getting what they always wanted most: The Longhorn Sports Network. He'll be a very happy man if this happens. A&M will win and be much better off. So will OU. But Texas will be happiest of all.

How can ESPN offer anything to what's left of the Big 12? Isn't their broadcasting plate already full with Big 10 & SEC games?

Just like with any bully, if you punch them in the mouth real good, they wimper away. That is where Texas is at at the moment.

Still in shock with all of this. It seems Texas tried to play its cards too early. As did Mizzou, and both may get screwed.

Big 12-2 goes back to 12 by adding two teams. ESPN/ABC is happy.
PAC 10+1 struggles to add one more, limiting a lucrative TV deal from Fox. ESPN/ABC is happy.
SEC stays put at 12. ESPN/ABC is happy.

So, we see the Aggies jump ship to the SEC in 2 years then? ...as opposed to seeing them join NOW?
It's only a matter of time.
The SEC wants A&M, its' fans, and it's MONEY (which it has plenty of). A&M wants the SEC, the rivalries, and the sell-out crowds.
This should be a no-brainer.
