The Higher Education Committee in Texas' House of Representatives is set to
meet on Tuesday to discuss Texas A&M's possible move to the SEC, Rep. Dan
Branch told ESPN on Friday.
However, Texas A&M's Board of Regents moved up a meeting scheduled for Aug.
22 to Monday, Aug. 15.
On the agenda, listed as the final topic before the meeting adjourns: "
Authorization for the President to Take All Actions Relating to Texas A&M
University's Athletic Conference Alignment, The Texas A&M University System."
Branch told ESPN that the SEC could vote as early as Saturday, but the
higher education committee hopes to know what is at stake for the rest of
the state.
"There are millions of dollars at stake," Branch said. "And this could
affect students at other schools like Texas, Texas Tech and Baylor."
Branch said among those invited to Tuesday's open session are Big 12
commissioner Dan Beebe, SEC commissioner Mike Slive and Texas A&M president
Dr. R. Bowen Loftin.
From our newser:
Asked about multiple reports that he told Texas A&M officials that Texas
was the key to the future of the Big 12 and that the Big 12 would survive
without the Aggies, Beebe said in a text message to ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM's
Ian Fitzsimmons those reports are "totally inaccurate."
While Texas A&M might be ready to bolt for the SEC, Florida State says
rumors the Seminoles are considering the same are just that at the moment --
rumors.
...
The Big 12 believes it could withstand the loss of A&M with Texas and
Oklahoma remaining as anchor schools. If A&M were to leave, the Big 12 could
consider Houston as a replacement to the TV market.
The Big 12 is stressing it has six members with AAU Academic
Accreditation compared to two in the SEC, a note Branch said could be part
of a "wholistic view."
The Big 12 also says A&M's issues with the Longhorn Network are being
addressed. And it is focused on the significance of maintaining regional
rivalries and geographic relevance.
This story is moving fast, only slightly faster than the Aggies, who look
like their wandering eyes may be followed by their legs very soon. |
