Texas A&M to the SEC!! Looks like it's about to be official...according to ESPN.
Baylor is crying trying to get A&M to stay. Theyre scared that they will be left out and have to join the MWC or WAC. Kinda sad to see the Big 12 come to an end, but I'm happy that A&M gets to stick it to Texas.
The distribution of revenue in the Big 12 heavily favored Texas, and everyone else was living in it's shadow. Nebraska had enough last year and bolted. Honestly, they always seemed like a Big 10 team anyways.
Geographically it doesn't make sense to me to have the remaining schools join the PAC 12. But I guess Austin is full of hippies like Cali anyways
I'm honestly surprised that the BIG 12 never brings up adding TCU to the conference. Guess they're afraid they would lose out on the DFW recruits to TCU...since the kids would stay home and still play in a better conference than the MWC.

It will be tough for a few years but think of all the recruits A&M will start to get. All the best players in Texas that want to play in the SEC will go to A&M. It's a no brainer. We already have a strong program, so this should be an exciting ride. Just my 2 cents..

All the best players?! All the best players want to go to Texas. if they don't like the big city,they go to the second best team of Texas college players = OU. A&M gets the others
However, they do look good this year with those guys!
Also, I don't see much of a difference in UT going to west coast or A&M to the East.

ole miss will lay it on y'all... it's ok to admit that you guys will be the doormat of the SEC (at least in football)
might as well start following your track team and golf if you want to keep watching winners.

All you Aggies forget that with you getting your *** kicked year in and year out its going to be hard to recruit top tier players. Potential players want to be on winning teams no matter the conference nor are the fans going to want to travel to the east coast for half of their games to watch them lose.
Has anyone actually seen the money side of this deal? You kids have fun getting your *** whipped every year. I still find it comical how A&M has their panties all in an uproar over the longhorn network when THEY voted to allow it
In 2016 Id love to see the BCS go away and have a playoff scheme instituted, and this move may very well help that become a reality

The horns would wreck the sec. I mean garret gilbert, colts little bro. Did you guys see them lay the smack down on the mormans at dkr! You guys are right, A&M should just sit back and try to be as good as Texas. Why on earth would a team want to play against the best, it just seems so hard.

You guys that graduated from the schools that talk crap to the rest of us fans need to get over yourselves. Nobody cares that its "your school" or you're "real fans". Its a business. Its entertainment. Its football. And its not meant for alumni, there are a heck of alot more "tshirt" fans than "real" fans. We aren't out there cheering for an english or engineering department. 
its just football. So unless you actually PLAYED on the team, you have nothing to hold over the rest of us.
And that Texas wrecking the SEC comment almost made me woof my cookies.
