Someone wants to speak to the SEC manager

Texas A&M AD 'caught off guard' by report that Texas wants to join SEC

quote:

HOOVER, Ala. -- Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork is standing up for his school after a Houston Chronicle report that Texas and Oklahoma have reached out to the SEC about joining the conference.

quote:

Even so, Bjork said he will be "diligent in our approach to protect Texas A&M." "We want to be the only SEC program in the state of Texas," Bjork said. "There's a reason why Texas A&M left the Big 12 -- to be standalone, to have our own identity."

A&M and Mizzou are gonna definitely vote against adding them. Then only 2 of the remaining 12 to vote no and they are blocked.

I thought A&M didn't care about Texas. I mean, it is all the A&M fans say on the SEC Rant.

Texas A&M-- the Fredo Corleone of college football.

Smells like fear.

I've never seen one program so utterly terrified of the other like A&M is with the superior program in that State.

Texas brings nothing to the SEC. We already have the best team in that state in the conference.

A&M, LSU, Arky, and Mizzouri all are likely to vote No. And the SEC East better think long and hard about it as well as they may end up with Bama and Auburn in the East.

I mean, can you blame them?

That all said, Oklahoma, albeit a football blueblood, just doesn't interest me. The Tulsa and Oklahoma City "tv markets" aren't enticing, and a significant portion of OU alums are in Dallas-Ft. Worth. Traveling to Norman for a game generally doesn't interest me.

If OU is required "tag-along" with Texas, then I'd say no deal. I'd rather the SEC grab Texas and then poach UNC, NC State or Virginia Tech as the other addition.

Aggies crying because they want an advantage at recruiting other than what they have to offer.

As an Arkansas fan, I would slightly prefer seeing Arkansas play OU and Texas every year than AU and Bama. I could take it or leave it though.

Any AD who votes no should be fired for not doing their job (which is to make the most money possible).

Who cares what the HYC is unhappy with... They continually try to act like they are the only show in Texas, and just got slapped with reality.
