Instead of bloviating from both sides why not read what CBS Sports News says:
How long will it be before the Aggies and Longhorns play again? (USATSI)
Attention Longhorns and Aggies fans hoping Texas and Texas A&M can overcome their recent hostilities and renew their 118-year-old rivalry series on the gridiron: We've got good news and bad news.
The good: Never-soft-spoken Texas athletic director Deloss Dodds told the Daily Texan Tuesday that he believed -- that he was "sure" -- the two teams would eventually play each other again, despite A&M's move to the SEC and the Longhorns' commitment to the Big 12.
"I think we'll play sometime," Dodds said. "I don't know when it will happen or how it will happen, but I'm sure it will happen."
The bad: Dodds' comments about the terms under which the rivalry would be renewed won't exactly help smooth over relations with the powers that be in College Station.
“They're the ones that decided not to play us," he said. "We get to decide when we play again. I think that's fair. If you did a survey of our fans about playing A&M, they don't want to. It's overwhelming. I know. I hear it."
Aggie fans would respond, of course, that it's their program that has consistently said it would be happy to continue playing the Longhorns as a nonconference series after their move to the SEC, and that it's Dodds and Texas who discontinued it in response to A&M leaving the Big 12. Longhorn fans, in turn, would argue that if A&M really wanted to continue playing Texas, it wouldn't have left the Big 12 in the first place.
In the end, it's a matter of he-said-he-said, and the rivalry won't be renewed solely on Texas's terms or Texas A&M's. It's going to take a concerted effort on both sides -- and probably another few years between fans, administrators and others after the acrimony caused by the conference split -- to get the Longhorns and Aggies in the same stadium again.
Dodds can say he expects the rivalry to continue. But until the finger-pointing stops -- and it doesn't matter whether the finger-pointing is deserved or isn't -- the series won't be renewed.
In other words our School President said "Any place any where any time."
Texas says the sips will make the call. Ball has and always has been in sippy's corner. ie They scared.

One other note. The present womens basketball coach at LSU formally coached in the BDF. She immediately contacted all of the remaining schools and told them not to schedule Texas A&M in any sport. She likened the Aggies moving to the SEC the same as a divorce...something she was very familiar with during that period. She said A&M leaving was like a divorce and you should never have anything to do with your former partner.

YOUR conference is the Big 12, sip.

Thats why they played NC in the Orange Bowl.
So t.u. being below Oklahoma and Iowa State in the Big 12 pecking order wasn't why they fell to the Alamo Bowl (who has the Big 12's #2 choice outside of the New Years Six)?

Mulkey didn't have that kind of pull to demand that no one schedule A&M in any sport. She hadn't even won a title with Griner at the time we left.

A&M was supposed to play them in the Cotton Bowl after the 2012 season. Both Mack Brown and DeLoss Dodds told the Cotton Bowl they would refuse to play if A&M was the opponent.
Sumlin called off the dogs on Oklahoma in the 4th quarter (was 41-13 early 4th). If it was t.u. it may have been worse than 77-0.
First page and we already get one of these responses.
This falls on both schools. A&M is the one that willingly left the conference. That move meant the game was no longer forced to be on the schedule. That was step 1.
Any step beyond that will be debated on here. Ags will blame Horns, Horns will blame Ags, but essentially...it’s both their damn faults. This game is a money grab waiting to happen, and they won’t do it.

I'd love to play them - one of these days it will happen again. But honestly, Texas is the jilted one, and A&M is kind of enjoying its independence. Eventually both schools will swallow their pride, but I doubt it is anytime soon.

So you’ll let some shite journalist bloviate and reference ADs that are no longer ADs?
Both of those schools are too chicken shite to play. It just depends on which side you want to play. A&M left the marriage and is complaining the ex doesn’t want to hang out anymore. Or Texas will say A&M is scared. It’s all bullshite. As long as the rivalry is dead, the respect level for both programs is down a few pegs.

Both jilted. Aggy was pissed about LHN, so much that they started to get the hell out. Texas is mad little bro left the house to grow up.

I believe she said that it would be like getting a divorce and your former spouse asking to sleep with you again.
A reporter quoted that bitch and asked Loftin to comment, which he respondent: "Sir, I have no desire to sleep with her."

I'll be honest.
frick THEM.
I don't ever want to play them again.
Maybe when they are so shitty that it's akin to playing Rice or some other old SWC shite-team. It will be a few years before that.

Of course an Ag has no desire to sleep with a woman.

We'd whip them. Their OL and DL are straight up trash tier. Not worried about a loss or anything. OU is better on every level, and we handled them fine last time we played

We’d been attempting to jump to the SEC long before the LHN.
That was just the proverbial straw.
Thankfully the stars finally aligned.
Again, there’s zero love lost between the two universities.
It isn’t a rivalry deal; it goes far deeper.
As has been mentioned, we’ll eventually play each other again; but right now it isn’t a priority for either school.

- A&M wants no part of making the horns’ schedule any more appealing.
Yea, so we scheduled LSU, florida, georgia, alabama, michigan and ohio state instead.
Thank GOD those lower tier teams said yes after the king of college football Texas A&M snubbed us

I'm glad they did. I will enjoy watching those games very, very much. It's always fun to watch them suffer.

Lol they simply love this fabrication.
In reality, the second place big 12 team was slated to go to the Cotton Bowl. That was Oklahoma, as they were "co-champions" with Kansas State, but lost the head to head in 2012. Ergo - they played in the Cotton Bowl while KSU got the nod to play in the Fiesta Bowl against Oregon.
Texas finished 3rd in conference. That designation earned them the Alamo Bowl.
This is actually extremely easy to figure out, but you can't count on anyone with an aggie education to know how to count properly

I didn’t say UTex couldn’t schedule other good games.
I said we didn’t want to help them do so.

Hell - care to enlighten us on your record against us? Your record against us in Kyle Field only? Your record against us in this century?
Seems like y'all are the ones people have watched suffer
