I've been hearing some rumblings from out West about TA&M making a possible change but I never thought there was that much merit to it. ESPN has a report that says something could be brewing.

From the comments:

Don't let the door hit ya' where the good Lord split ya'!
Good luck making the SEC championship game considering you've only made the Big XII title game once. You and Arkansas can play in the toilet bowl.

I hope they bring Choklahoma with them.  I would love to see the SEC expand to 14 teams.  16 would be even more awesome, then we could have our own 4 team tournament in December.  If we brought in 2 teams from the east, then we wouldn't have to split up the existing divisions.  Just add OU and aTm to the west, and add Clemson and ?? to the east.  Who would the other team be?  FSU maybe?  That would be awesome.

Yesterday Finebaum shot down any chance of A&M moving to the SEC. Today he said A&M to the SEC is gaining momentum. He sounded like he knew something. Like Finebaum or not he is well connected.

Naw,,SC FSU ain't coming here it to hard of a conference. The ACC is why my buddy Bobby went there was because he knew he could win all those games. He had a soft season then could be a good Bowl every year. He out smarted the NCAA. lol, RTR!

Well, they might if Clemson leaves and the conference doesn't find another team to replace them so that they can still have 12 teams and championship game.  I don't think Jimbo is skerd of the SEC (especially not the east).

I believe all of this is bunk - simply a way A&M can manipultate Texas and their TV network.  There is no way A&M divorces Texas, any more thaqn Bama divorces Auburn - simply isn't going toi happen.

Well you may be right. I think money and being seen takes the cake though. BTW, guess I haven't seen you so welcome to CRS. I hope your here for years to come. God Bless! RTR!

You might be right.  It does sound a lot like they are just making some idle threats to jockey for leverage.  I wouldn't be surprised to see the SEC expand though, so that they steal the limelight away from the PAC 12/Big 10 expansion.

As for divorcing Auburn, I am all for it.  But I think in this case, the "until death do us part" clause will kick in soon when the NCAA is finished with them.

Interesting (and accurate) quote from the article:

The SEC has stayed quiet during this latest round of speculation. At SEC Media Days a couple weeks ago, SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said he could add members if he wanted to in 15 minutes.

"I'm going to think about and do things that are in the long-term best interests of the SEC," Slive said at the time.

This is like a boiling pot if you watch it to long it will never Boil! I would to see TA&M come into the conference. What a great toward Texas recruits we would have and also that TV market.
I see Com. Mike Slive is quiet, flooey, his mind is turning like a big Mack Truck racing downhill. I have believed Coach Sherman wants in the SEC and if he lasts very much longer he will help it along. JMHO. RTR!

What are y'alls thoughts on A&M.
First thought is they are about the same as ARKY, sometimes good sometimes really bad. Never great.

I agree with your Arkansas comparison if you are talking about how competitive their teams are on the field. A&M would bring the Texas TV market and recruiting to the SEC. Arkansas does not have that to offer. Like most things in life, it comes down to how much money a school can bring to the SEC bottom line.
