Official: I want/Don't want Texas A&M in the SEC thread

Id say yes, but part of me wants Kansas in the Mtn West and not to be the replacement for a&m in the new Pac 16...

Yep

yup

Yes

Want a&m to join, 100%.

Yes

definite yes. i was sold merely when i thought about Texas a&m traditions/culture and how that would fit in with the rest of the SEC. i also liked the idea of expanding the footprint.

but another thread that used the 2009 Forbes rankings of programs was the final piece that made it all fit.
