We heard most of this last year when it looked like Commissioner Scott might just really  take over the entire western U.S.  Then, poof!  The main problem driving these rumors now is people are discovering that they sold the livestock and most of the entire farm to Univ. of Texas as far as revenue splits and TV rights go.  The other thing that never really got resolved was Texas A&M's flirtation with the SEC.  Apparently the interest was mutual and much stronger on the A&M side than people saw at the time.    Texas A&M would fit well in the SEC and it would fit the not-so-secret SEC world-domination scenario.  Trouble is,  they need another team which means more than stealing a few ponies off the Big12 ranch.  The rumor back then was to get Oklahoma and A&M.  If A&M could go to the SEC and still retain a season game against Texas,  this could be BIG.
