    Thursday's letter does not guarantee a withdrawal from the Big 12. Texas A&M has yet to apply for admission to the SEC, and the SEC has yet to extend an invitation. But after Thursday's move, it would be difficult for the Aggies to remain in the Big 12."As I have indicated previously, we are working very deliberately to act in the best long-term interests of both Texas A&M and the state of Texas," Loftin said in the statement. "This truly is a 100-year decision. While we understand the desire of all parties to quickly reach a resolution, these are extremely complex issues that we are addressing methodically.

    "Ultimately, we are seeking to generate greater visibility nationwide for Texas A&M and our championship-caliber student-athletes, as well as secure the necessary and stable financial resources to support our athletic and academic programs. As a public university, Texas A&M owes it to the state's taxpayers to maximize our assets and generate additional revenues both now and well into the future."

      Never answer the first time they call. Return the call promptly but not immediately. Keep your tone casual and relaxed. Ask about his family and the weather. Segway into top conference matchups upcoming. Upon receiving the invitation act pensive (get down off the desk) and let him know in hushed slow tones that you'll pass on the request to the BOT. Thank him and end the call by asking him to show you how best to prepare a brisket. Laugh casually but not embarassingly at his reply. Hang up the phone...

      THEN FREAK THE HELL OUT!!!!

        When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

                  I curious though, why doesn't Texas care that the SEC will have foothold in Texas if this thing goes as TAMU hopes? Better the devil you know, right?

                      I thought the video summed it up pretty well. All parties are represented: A&M, Texas, and BYU.

                          I think her choice of royal blue was very prophetic! She is even sporting one of those just over the knockers burlap sack (spuds?) dresses that the coeds in Big 12 country love so much. I do believe Sup was looking for one of these for the ti(l)t in Oxford next week!

                            ESPN Dallas mentioned the Aggie notice to the Big 12. They are saying that the Big 12 is having a meeting of the minds on Saturday to discuss things including replacements. The teams that were mentioned, in this order: BYU, Houston, and SMU.

                                Why no TCU?
                                Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”
