Says one source;

quote:

The Southeastern Conference is very much in play for A&M, while Texas is at least mulling the possibility of joining the Big Ten or SEC, one person with knowledge of the situation said Thursday.


quote:

The Aggies are taking a hard look at the SEC, while the Longhorns also have a milder interest in what’s considered the best football conference in the nation, according to one insider with knowledge of the situation. UT, which would prefer the Pac-10 model over the SEC scenario, and A&M are in no rush to make a decision on which route to take — and they don’t have to be, considering both apparently have multiple options from which to choose.


But

quote:

Meanwhile, leaders from A&M and UT met in Austin on Thursday to discuss their options — including perhaps joining Colorado, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Arizona and Arizona State in a southern division of the Pac-10 that would begin play prior to the 2012 football season.

Texas should stay put or join the SEC.

Big 12 is history.

It's a reverse aggie joke here with the aggies being the smart ones and the horns being the dolts. The SEC would mean so much more money for them. And SEC + the Dallas/Houston/San Antonio/Austin market would be worth a HUGE tv contract.

Souldn't the title be "Texas = SEC or Big 10...but most likely Pac-10"?

I was quoting the one source which is different than other threads.... hence the title and new thread.

I read elsewhere that OU definitely wants to follow UT. So if the aggies convince UT to come and OU follows, that would mean one other team needed for a 16 team conference which IMO would be optimal.

Baylor?
Tech?
VT?
OSU?
