It isn't just the Ags. There is some SEC rule that doesn't allow a full band to travel to more than 2 conference games. Hence why UGA went to the FL game and will go to Auburn. We brought a pep band to other away games. It's silly but apparently it exists because some schools couldn't afford to do it, none of us are allowed.

That is Effin stupid. One of the things I love about the SEC (on espn) is that we can hear the bands during the game. We always notice how much louder the SEC games are compared to shitty Fox telecasts.
The conference and our TV contract, should embrace the pageantry and sell the shite out of it.

This is completely false. There is no such rule. It comes down to $$$ as it always does.
Texas A&M needs to get with the program now that they're in the SEC. There is no shame in sending one bus of 50 bandmembers to an away game. No, they obviously will not march on the field.

The MDB took the full band to UF, UT, and LSU in 2006.
