"I think the reality for us is A&M made a choice they felt was best for them to move to the SEC. That's great for them. They've leverage that well...For us there has to be a real business or branding case made to play anybody that we play with our football games given the way our schedule is structured playing Oklahoma every year in Dallas...Unless there really is a compelling business or branding reason, I see a hard time renewing that rivalry in football," Patterson told Paul Finebaum on ESPN Radio.

If I were a fan of either team I would be pissed that they won't play the game anymore.

This seems like a rivalry fans of teams other than a&m and ut want to see, not the other way.
If they don't want to play, and if there is no benefit, why play.

Both ADs have publicly stated several times now that re-starting the rivalry is not going to happen, certainly anytime in the near future. Nothing to see here.

Pretty much this I guess. Just couldn't imagine there being such a lackadaisical attitude if the Iron Bowl were to end

Texas is just being a bitch. A&M joined the one conference where it is obvious that there is plenty of room for a permanent OOC team.

Well now we don't have to wait with bated breath anymore 
Whatever, sips

Will take state legislature and governor intervention to get it started again IMO
