IT'S DONE! Jeff Tarpley from aggieyell.com reports: Texas A&M IS going to the SEC. Future of football in Texas unknown. Wow.
Rice or Houston would be my guesses.Quote:

Source: Big 12 has contacted another Texas school about joining up. It's not Frogs as they're headed to Big East. SMU? Houston?

Had FSU and Clemson left the ACC, I'm sure the ACC would have sued not only the schools, but the networks for damages as a result of their conflict of interest as well.Quote:

If Louisville does join (big if), they'd probably be ISU's new conference rival. I know rivalries are hard to manufacture, but this series could be sold as the "War of the Cardinal."

Overall, it isn't that great of an interview in regards to any new information as most answers have been the usual scripted answers.Quote:
