Texas A&M is officially a member of the SEC; Mizzou-to-SEC talk continues
Texas A&M’s move to the SEC became official Sunday. After months and months of talk and legal threats, the Aggies will officially join the conference in July 2012.
ESPN reports that neither the Aggies nor the SEC has asked the remaining nine members of the Big 12 to waive their legal rights to sue. A&M apparently believes the Big 12 will live on, thus no university can claim that the move hurt them financially, the report said.
Texas A&M President R. Bowen Loftin, apparently excited about the proposition of finishing close to the bottom of the standings in the SEC, said in a statement: “We are excited to begin competition in the nation’s premier athletic conference.”
