Just like Nebraska had been dancing with the B1G for a century, so Texas A&M had been dancing with the SEC. TAMU was in the SIAA with all the other SEC schools 100 years ago and had plenty of history with SEC schools (including Arkansas) so like the Huskers, the SEC was just a delayed move leftover from the 1990's. Mizzou was not that integrated and had Oklahoma come with Texas A&M, Mizzou might be in the AAC with Cincinnati right now.

Yeah I agree with you here. We weren't tied to Mizzou. My point was that we would have kept trying until we found another school to get to 14 and it was advantageous for all parties. Mizzou made the most sense though with the TV markets they brought to the table and that they were disgruntled.

Adding Louisville wouldn't have appeased us and thus would have kept the Big 12 in a state of flux because still would have been looking for a way out
