Texas Might Lose Rivalry with Texas A&M

It is very likely that Texas A&M will be leaving the Big 12 for the SEC.  That means that A&M and Texas might not play each other anymore.  Since they won't have to play each other in  a conference game, the two schools would have to agree to play each other year in and year out.  A&M probably won't want to play a tough Texas team each year because they still have to go through the daunted SEC each season if they make the switch.

It would be really sad if this rivalry ended.  I love watching my Longhorns beat the Aggies year in and year out.

Texas A&M Almost Went to SEC

Texas A&M was extremely close to moving to the SEC over the weekend.  Members of the SEC finally voted against adding any more teams at the current time. 

My question is:  what does this mean for Texas?

Wow, this really could mean a number of things.  If the Big 12 loses any more teams that means the conference will have less than 10 teams.  That would be way too low for a conference.  I think the Big 12 would definitely look to add teams like a TCU or maybe even a BYU to keep the league upright.  I can't see the Longhorns leaving any time soon because of their new tv deal that would conflict with a lot of conferences who have their own networks.  Hopefully the Big 12 stays in tact and the Longhorns can continue to stay in the conference and kick Oklahoma's butt.
