re: 80s and 90s Series A&M Contract blah blah blah

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.

This is correct, although we didn't "have to" cancel but opted to. Otherwise we lost the revenue from having an extra home game every other year.

There was an opt out clause for either party providing in the contract. The dispute was over whether this situation qualified. A$M squawked but has no recourse because the language supports LSU's interpretation. As someone else stated, aggies never let facts intrude on their self-created delusions.
