A&M is a minor player in the Big 12 and only makes money from the conference due to the economic success of UT and OU.

The Aggies need to accept where they belong in the Big 12 and that is with Baylor, Iowa State and Kansas.

It may be true that they belong there, but they don't have to accept it, if the SEC is going to snatch them up and deliver the big bucks.

The wheels are turning and it's looking like the era of the 16 team superconferences is coming. The Big 12 maybe gone soon.

Humm...A&M has a following that is insane. Teams play them just so they can get the crowds the Aggies draw...win or lose. Their whole philosophy is centered around money. I know....I live here.

If A&M is so "minor" then how come the tu's and zero U's of the world decided to continue "blessing" the Big XII / X with its presence?

Maybe they didn't want TAMU bolting for the SEC (a much more impressive conference with fewer travel issues than the Pac 10)... opening the door for the SEC to recruit Texas' high school talent?

Me thinks the Mac Browns and Bob Stoops of the world would not have such an easy time picking and choosing TX talent vs the Floridas and Alabamas and TAMUs of the SEC.
