Isn't it typical for an SEC team to be left out of the BCS games because of the 2 team per conference limit? Even if they went to something like the Cotton Bowl, wouldn't that just push all the other SEC teams down a bowl, where they would really just be adding the money from the smallest bowl played by and SEC team?

Then, if A&M leaves and OU leaves too, why would Texas want to leave? Seems like they'd rack up a BCS berth on an annual basis. Are there any BCS rules about if the Big 12 dwindled to 6 teams, they'd lose their automatic bid?


I believe the SEC TV deals allow for bump ups in $$ with each team added to the conference. They are usually ahead on those type of matters.

I like A&M in the SEC. They are a natural fit.

Also, Baylor is "protesting" A&M by not buying many tickets for their game on the road against the Aggies this week:

I was curious who was running the show at Baylor, and who's name do I come across? Ken Star yes the crazy lawyer who investigated The Clintons, The White, White Water, spending a ridicules amount of money for NOTHING now he's in charge at Baylor, should have known there was a snake in the grass when the BIG 12 BOARD gave their blessing and then Baylor jumped up and said WE DIDN'T GIVE OUR BLESSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw that too.
