The Temple Texas rivalry is intense! Man, if you haven't seen that game at least once in your lifetime, you're missing out!

Not according to the ND AD. He said there are no plans for an annual game with Texas.

You've got that mixed up. A&M said they want to keep playing the game. Texas has said they would stop playing A&M if they left.

1 reason. You can have your own television deal in the big 12 or whatever iteration this becomes. You can't do that in the Big 10.

Let's say Texas, OU, OSU, Tech form a conference with Pitt, BC, BYU, ND and whoever else, most likely a play for having your own television deal will not be an issue.

Texas is making more than any school in the nation with it's deal in the dead big 12. Imagine if a new conference was formed, a national conference. They are picking up $300M over 20 years for the LHN and they are making about $20M in the Big 12 right now. That pretty much blows the SEC out of the water.

Re: A&M to the SEC starting to blow up again on Twitter

And our friend Chip Brown chimes in with this little piece of information that A&M will be leaving the Big 12 tomorrow and will pay between 10 to 12 million plus forfeit all TV money this year. I know, I know his word is questionable at best.

Yeah i misread it was Mack Brown who said he wanted to keep the rivalry even if the teams were in different conferences. Typical Mack talking out of his backside

Re: A&M to the SEC starting to blow up again on Twitter

New York Times breaking that A&M president sent letter of withdrawal to Big XII chairman. I'll find a link when I get home in a few minutes.
