    Also on the agenda is the possible selection of a new A&M System chancellor. Jay Kimbrough has been filling the role following the departure earlier this summer by Mike McKinney. Former comptroller John Sharp has been rumored to be a finalist for the job.

        Now TAMU will leave the Big12.

        Then, they will apply to the SEC for admission (already knowing the SEC will invite them. That was the reason for the SEC meeting yesterday.)

        The SEC, now that conditions have changed (as they said in their statement) will admit TAMU.

        Let the roller coaster begin!

                    What makes aTm think it is going to do well in the SEC?

                            Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                                        And if they do bolt for the SEC, I wonder what that means for BYU. Do you think they'll get invited to the Big 12?

                                            I guess I do think so. (see my post below.) Seems like an obvious choice to me, assuming issues like Sunday play can be worked out, and everyone seems to think they can.

                                                No chance. That would require going back on our solemn word to the WCC.

                                                    If? They ARE bolting for the SEC.

                                                    If that wasn't an option, they wouldn't have had the vote today and it certainly wouldn't have been a unanimous yes.
