Apparently, Hyman told people Oregon will not be on the schedule either according to SAE-N's Brent Zwenerman on Twitter.

"To clear up any rumors about future A&M nonconference foes, AD Eric Hyman said here at SEC spring meetings USC and Oregon are not on list" — Brent Zwerneman (@BrentZwerneman)

"Hyman said essentially shift from Big 12 to SEC meant A&M had to nearly 'scrub our whole schedule' regarding OOC games." — Brent Zwerneman (@BrentZwerneman)

Gotta love Bill Byrne's scheduling prowess.

Make a big splash in the news with a press release announcing a deal to schedule a potential marquee OOC opponent, then do nothing to actually see that said deal actually goes through.

Personally, I'm glad that we didn't finalize any agreements with USC or Oregon. We have no history with either of those schools, and our schedule is hard enough being in the SEC as it is. By the time these games were to actually occur, we already could be playing t.u. again. It is also likely that the SEC will move to a 9 game schedule in the years to come, making an already tough conference schedule even tougher.

At any rate, I'd much rather beat up on our old SWC/Big 12 conference mates.
