So A&M is going from an average 6-6 team to a 3-9 team
Even though A&M doesn't seem that important, if another staple program left the Big XII, then I think the whole thing would fall apart and they might escape without having to pay the fee on some technicality.

apparently the reason why Beebe is scrambling to scrape together the $20 million to give the Aggies.
Jackie Sherrill says hi.
He didn't go to A&M.
That was too easy, DT--shame on you for picking someone so much smaller than you to pick on. Shame!
I'm just pissed about them bringing PEPSI to campus and kyle
He was a t-shirt fan.
So good it deserved two responses.
No, but those kids who took money did.
Before threatening anybody, perhaps the Aggies should become a relevant en y outside of college hole...err...station
Is that the same as crooked Rick Perry's code of honor too?
Also, if that's how you feel maybe going to a conf with Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Les Miles, etc. isn't for you. Y'all will be some downright intolerant es over there.
Heh, I'm more of a Pepsi dude myself (check my avatar lol), so I've been happy about it--bought my first TAMU Pepsi from Wehner the other day hehe. Hey, there's always Dr. Pepper for y'all, right?

I'm not much of a fan of Perry either right now. As for the SEC, I believe the NCAA is in the process of penalizing some of them right now. Hopefully it is cleaned up a bit before we get there.
It's amazing how just about nobody likes Ricky Perry but he's still going to get reelected.
What's the alternative right now? It's one of those 'lesser of two evils' situations.
Mountain Dew: Code Red FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fify, hehe.
LOL. You're worried about the ethics of the Big 12...so you'd prefer a jump to the conference almost unanimously considered the dirtiest in all of college football?
All of these conference jumps are about greed and money - pure and simple. I won't begrudge any school that makes a jump that they feel is their own best interest, but if they try to spin it as a move based upon honor and ethics - that is laughable and hypocritical.
A move would be in A&M's best interest (the reason they stayed was the guaranteed $20 million -which Beebe is trying to weasel out of a month after the commitment).
The SEC does have a reputation for cheating (recruiting-wise), but as I mentioned the NCAA is looking into violations and will hopefully clean it up a bit. The thing that annoys me is that for a move this important (deciding which of the conferences the future of your team will be tied with), Beebe pulled some false promise out to keep us tied to the Big 12-2 and only a month later tries to weasel out of it (Texas and Oklahoma turned it down, hint hint hint). Beebe is an incompetent weasel, and I don't think the Big 12 really has much of a long-term future. I want out.
Do you really think your admins (or UTs, or OUs) made this decision based solely on Beebe's word and promises? The last-minute change in heart was almost certainly because the future numbers proposals came in from a network (either ESPN or Fox network - not FSN) that showed that the 10 team conference will make A LOT of money.
The reason the Big 12's TV contract is so much lower than others right now is because we were the first to negotiate it. The market boomed pretty soon thereafter. By ill luck, we sold at the wrong time - but that also means that our rights come up before the other conferences, at which point we'll be back in play. And it's very possible that PER TEAM, the Big 12 deal will be worth more than a 14-16 team SEC contract would net.
Nobody was going to forgo a super conference because Beebe gave them a wink and a smile. The man had evidence to back his play.
And we want it in writing. To this point, we have Beebe's word and little else (regardless if that is backed by solid 'estimates' of the next contract). I understand why you're not enthusiastic about the dissolution of the Big 12-2, but you better get used to the idea, because it will probably happen within 5 years or so.
Even if we do get the full $20 million, it wouldn't surprise me to see the SEC teams make even more than that in the near future. They're a better conference, they bring in more money.
Big 12-2 has 3 years left max. ing joke of a conference.
Why is it just now a joke? Colorado has almost always sucked at everything in the Big XII and Nebraska has fallen off big time in football.
