If Texas and Oklahoma join the SEC, it would break a long-standing "gentlemen's agreement" between SEC schools that gives conference members "absolute veto power" over the addition of another school from their state, according to a former Texas A&M official.
R. Bowen Loftin, who helped steer the Aggies into the SEC in 2011 while serving as A&M's president, said the oft-discussed unwritten rule was a "specific conversation" during expansion talks in 2010-11 when he was involved. Loftin also served as chancellor at Missouri in 2014-15 after the Tigers made the move to the SEC.
If they want to pick up their ball and go home, I'm sure Baylor, TCU and Texas Tech will gladly welcome them home.
Lol, actually A&M would probably go to the B1G. We are AAU members with a larger endowment than any of them, a 100k plus stadium we can fill, a monster AD budget, nearly 500k former students, and we bring the Texas market. We can go anywhere we want.
More likely we stick around though and cut a deal for now with Texas while keeping our options open.

“You guys are being bitchy as hell about this. The SEC did aTm a big favor and this is what we get? Wow“
Aggies be scared shitless of the possibility of having to lay the Horns.

If A&M isn’t happy the door is open for you to leave.

Just what do you think the favor was?
Doesn't this undo said favor?

That is where it started in the Big 12 too.
At the end of the day the SEC will do what it wants.
And I can promise when the teams are done moving around and the final conference lineup is set A&M won’t be the only one complaining.

Well that settles it, Texas is staying in the B12 and we need to hunt for another team to even things out
If we're adding OU to the West we need an East Coast team to balance things out

"Gentlemen's agreement??" IF it is NOT in a written contract, it is not binding.

Best not to risk it or others might not think we're gentlemen or trustworthy
We're taking OU and while Texas doesn't have to stay home, they can't play here
We should offer Clemson just to rattle the ACC a little
