An official announcement of Texas A&M's move to the Southeastern Conference is expected today in College Station.

quote:

School officials spent Tuesday preparing for a news conference at Kyle Field to celebrate the move, pending a favorable vote from SEC presidents to extend an invitation. The SEC presidents met Tuesday night and approved an invitation to A&M, said sources with knowledge of the situation, but the SEC made no formal announcement.

Found this amusing tweet:

Big 12 = Titanic. Texas was the iceberg. Neb, CU & A&M got the lifeboats. Baylor/Tech/ISU are playing in the band.

A&M has the 7th largest alumni base and 6 largest student body (50K) in the nation. That's alot of neo-Naziism you ignorant frick.

Not so fast. Word is that the SEC approval of A&M was conditional based on getting waivers from all Big 12 schools to not sue the SEC.

Oh and check out this tweet.

Source indicated Baylor is still suggesting "tortious interference" claim as a possibility against both the SEC and Mike Slive personally.

If TAMU's acceptance into the SEC is contingent on Baylor waiving their right to sue, how will this get resolved? Baylor really has nothing to lose in blocking TAMU from joining unless the rest of the Big 12 threatens to take action against them for stepping out of line.

Texas A&M to the SEC is not official until we see white smoke emanating from the Waffle House chimney in Birmingham.
