A&M is gone... Rumors that the paperwork is already in the SEC's hands and they're just waiting on the Aggie BOR to approve... Supposedly all but a done deal, official BOR meeting and vote on August 22. Will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next two weeks...
Tech and Oklahoma are telling people they won't look around. They'll stay with the B12 and try to replace TAMU. ND, TCU, BYU? Who knows. Nobody else down here besides BYU or ND add anything to the conference financially.
And if A&M bolts, you're crazy if you don't think they get a recruiting boost initially... No, they don't flip Texas kids right now but that's because they're in the same conference and have almost no advantages over UT at this point. Go to the SEC? Kids want to play over there, man. They just do. It's a real, true advantage and selling point that nobody else in this state will be able to offer. It'll be a benefit, and I think it'll win them some head-to-heads against Texas in the short term. If they go over there and get their heads beat in that will obviously change, but at least initially, there will be some buzz around that move and kids will be excited about it.
