They sure did go from "We'll fight this till the very end" to "Welcome Longhorn neighbors!" pretty quickly. I mean can you imagine what Sankey must have said to them to get them into line that quick?

Very stark reminder to the aggies about how little power they yield around here.

Just one team - one vote. As it should be. Rest of conference blinded by greed

The real reminder here is that OU and Texas couldn't keep the Big 12 afloat without us. They had to run to us with hat in hand and beg to be let in. That's pretty serious power to be able to cause an entire conference to fold,

Apparently complete and utter unanimous compliance.

So the Big 12 was a national power with a&m, and only a&m holding it up, while they were there? Weren't y'all barely over .500 over 16 years?

You seem to be trying real hard no this.

Stick to your stats. It suits you better.

We got what we wanted: the LSU pod and not the Big 12 pod

We thought A&M was gay but they may just be trans. No balls at all.

Hey, man. I'm sorry it hurts your feelings, but facts are facts.

Texas and OU in 2011: "Good riddance! The Big 12 is better off without you! TCU is an upgrade!"

Texas and OU in 2021: "Big 12 sucks and we just can't make this work. SEC, can we please come in? We have money. Please?"

I'm surprised some of you can breathe without being told to.

TCU 10-win seasons during their 9 years in the Big 12: 3

A&M 10-win seasons during their 16 years in the Big 12: 1

Kinda sounds like they were an upgrade

What's hilariously lost on y'all is that we had other options than the SEC to make plenty of money. But we wanted to make the most money possible. As did the SEC. Which is why both parties have worked to make this deal happen for the past 6-7 months. And your Board of Regents sure want us in to the tune of a 8-1 vote

Stay mad though!

That's certainly what it looks like.

So, yes.

A&M's Chancellor knew and was on board.

No one was going to turn down the payday.

Then how come y'all could never win anything of note in the conference?

Take it easy on Cult Aggie....they've had a rough week.

Im surprised how well Misery is taking this....of course they've probably been on B1G boards lifting their skirt this entire week.
