By all accounts Byrne (A&M's AD) was not the decision maker in this one. He is towing the company line, but he has even admitted he was excited about going to the SEC. A lot of reasons are circulating as to why we made this decision, but a lot of that is spin to try to quell the angry Aggie fan base.

quote:

Texas would be in the Pac 16 and A&M would be in the SEC.

Those two things would never happen together. The whole deal fell apart because klanhorns got butthurt about A&M joining the best athletic conference and tu forming the Soft-16 with West Coast U. If A&M had chosen any other destination besides SEC, tu would be in the Soft-16 right now.
This whole deal is another example of media trying to be the tail that wags the dog. Houston media reports on a story with basically no chance of happening. Others report on the Houston media reporting on this, then Houston media uses that to validate their initial reports.

Bottom line: College Station is an hour away from houston. There is zero reason for the Tiny 10 Conference (Big12-2) to add a school like Houston High that adds very little national attention to the conference and is in an already Tiny-10 saturated TV market.

They'll add TCU, SMU, Texas State, UTEP, or even Texas Women's before they add UH.
