Texas A&M close to announcing move to SEC
As a native Texas, and one who is not very fond of A&M, I have mixed emotions. I hate to see many of the in-state rivalries fall by the wayside, especially the UT-A&M game. It was also great to watch Tech beat up on them year after year. However, I do sympathize with them (and other Texas schools) with what UT has tried to pull with thier Longhorn network. Even though the NCAA put the end to their plans to air high school football games on the network, the whole thing just kind of reeks.
I do think it would be a good move financially for A&M, and honestly am not sure how they would fare. I have enjoyed them being the cellar-dwellers of the Big 12, but admittedly they are supposed to be somewhat better this year. I also think that this could really help with recruiting the Texas base.
Should be interesting to watch, as no doubt this will only be the first of many dominoes.
