re: A friendly reminder that Will Wade is 10-0 against Aggie .

Did we want to keep a toxic school that eventually ruins conferences it enters out? Sure (ask Colorado, Nebraska, and mizzou, this isn’t just some “aggy conspiracy”).

Did our president who initiated the sec move and the previous sec commish have some sort of gentleman’s agreement about no more expansion of texas teams? Apparently so, but times are different and different people are in charge and money drives all. It’s no surprise the sec wants to increase revenue and it’s footprint.

Are you looking for some sort of confession? Yes, moving to the sec as the only school from texas helped us tremendously and we didn’t want texas or any other school following us at first. It would have watered down our advantage.

Now a decade in, with more funding and facilities improvements, it’s not as big of a deal. We stand on our own and can forge our path forward based on what we are doing as a program, not what other programs are doing around us. Would we prefer them to stay in the big 12? Yes, but it’s not the end of the world. Most A&M fans you’ll find aren’t scared of texas coming over and many welcome resuming what was the 4th most played rivalry in all of college football.
