How many times to we have to post this? This particular article is from 2017 in SB Nation....
It’s been six years since Texas and Texas A&M have played in football. The two schools met a total of 118 times — the first matchup was in 1894 — until the Aggies moved away from the Big 12 and joined the SEC in 2012.
Although college football teams schedule a few out-of-conference games each season, these two longtime foes haven’t made any plans to renew the series. According to AL.com, not only did Texas make a point in no playing the Aggies, it reportedly involved the rest of the Big 12.
"Their AD (DeLoss Dodds) at the time came out and said we will never play Texas A&M again, and they worked along with Baylor and the conference to have no one in the (Big 12) schedule us," Texas A&M athletic director Byrne said. "There were other forces at work to make sure we didn't play."
