Texas Gov. Rick Perry stirs up Texas-A&M-to-the-SEC talk

  • Rick Perry stirs the conference realignment talk.

In what may be the first instance of anyone taking what an Aggie yell leader says seriously, Dallas Morning News reporters pounced on Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s comments about “conversations being had” about Texas A&M bouncing to the SEC. In the latest installment of “as the Big 12 turns,” Perry caused a stir with this quote:

“I’ll be real honest with you. I just read about it the same time as y’all did. … As far as I know, conversations are being had. That’s frankly all I know. I just refer you to the university and the decision makers over there.”

Uh, that’s pretty vague, but this statement apparently means that A&M is serious about a potential divorce from the Big 12.
