Inviting the aggies was done for one primary reason, money. The SECN benefits from the huge Texas tv market. The league itself has been wanting to get in the state. But don't kid yourselves, aggies, UT would have been invited instead of you if that had been a possibility. The SEC benefits, no doubt. But the aggies benefit a hell of a lot more & if you doubt that, just go back 3-4 yrs ago & look at where your program was; compare it to where you are now. All because of the SEC.

Maybe. Conjecture at this point. I do know you guys had a hard on for us in the 90s as well. But the Tektards and Baylor did not allow us to go. I also know that Texas likes the PAC, not the poor, ignorant, uneducated, and unsophisticated Southern inbreds with growths in unnatural places. Their words, not mine.

Kevin Sumlin and Johnny say 'sup.
One final thing . Not only does TAMU joining provide each school more money (you are welcome for sharing, especially when states with no TVs such as Bama and Miss have 2 teams per each state) but as someone previously mentioned, TAMU is even improving your academics. Kids in Texas are more aware of the SEC. And those who cannot get in to UT/TAMU can now go to LSU, Ole Miss, etc.

And once t.u. (not UT, they're a charter member) tried to move the conference office to Houston, they would have been the first member to have been voted OUT of the conference by the others.
