Around SBN: SB Nation interviews Jerome Bettis

Did A&M have an invite to join the SEC - or a conditional invite?

And I'm not saying they aren't worthy of being in the SEC or anything, but what has become apparent is that TV wanted to keep the status quo.  If A&M left - or Texas left - there would be chaos in the college football landscape.  Texas leaves to the PAC whatever, chaos.  A&M leaves to the SEC, the Big 12 implodes and chaos.  TV didn't want  that, so they upped the ante.  Ironically,  A&M's flirtation with the SEC created the mess we are in now - a watered down Big 12-2.  Not that I blame them.  But I think the SEC offer was conditional on the other teams bolting for the PAC whatever - FOR MONEY REASONS..  If not, your administration's personnel are cowards - and I don't believe that!

cowards they are

it was an unconditional offer

we could go to the SEC right now, but we have scared little idiots running things in high places

Our administration makes the three stooges of Hance/Myers/Bailey look like geniuses.

no official offer, just a phone call away though.

Maybe I missed it

But I never saw a formal invitation of A&M to the SEC.

Why would they extend an invite

without the Board of Regents having voted to leave the Big XII?

Also, would the SEC have emailed you the invite? You, my friend, are connected.

We have no way of knowing what the conditions, or lack of conditions were. You’re speculating and stating it as fact.

some of you people are like children. does it make you feel better to think that A&M did not have an offer? You are RIGHT, Mike SLive came to College Station to grab a burrito at Freebirds and that was it.
