Can someone refresh me on the details of this contract dispute regarding the series that we played with A&M from 1986 - 1995? I know I read an intelligent article (or post) on it a while back, probably in the lead-up to the Cotton Bowl. It had something to do with a different interpretation of the term of the contract, if I recall.

Truly, it was fear that motivated us to drop the series with A&M, and it was a greater fear that prevented them from agreeing to play us again any time in the 2000s. Just wanted to view the facts.

You are never going to get a straight answer from either side.

If my memory serves me right, we had to cancel the game when the SEC added an additional conference game. It was needed because we added Arky and USC to the SEC.
