Okay, so it's "not right now with Texas A&M..."
But that doesn't mean that it won't be in the future...
The conference big-wigs with the Ess-E-Cee voted to stay 12 for the moment
University of Florida president Dr. Bernie Machen said the conference's presidents and chancellors met on Sunday and "reaffirmed our satisfaction with the present 12 institutional alignment."
"We recognize, however, that future conditions may make it advantageous to expand the number of institutions in the league," Machen said. "We discussed criteria and process associated with expansion. No action was taken with respect to any institution including Texas A&M."
So, that leaves the door open...
The four-letter's Joe Schad introduces us to the issues with an immediate exit if both A&M and the Ess-E-Cee agreed to one...

All of which the HQ completely gets...
Texas head football coach was a guest on ESPN Radio with Amy Lawrence and FOSG Adnan Virk and sayrh quote:
"A lot of people are worried about that," Brown said. "Texas will be fine. I think the Big 12 will be fine regardless of what comes out of this, and we'll move forward."
"Number one, it's been a great rivalry with Texas and Texas A&M, so I hope it stays," Brown said.
Next up: The Board of Regents Meeting tomorrow...
UPDATE:
Texas A&M President R. Bowen Loftin released this statement after the decision from the SEC Presidents:
"As we have seen over the past several days, there has been a considerable amount of misinformation regarding these discussions and any associated timelines. The chairman of our board has indicated that the regents will proceed with tomorrow’s agenda item, which authorizes the president of Texas A&M to take all actions related to athletic conference alignment. I will also accept Chairman Branch’s invitation to participate in his committee’s hearing on Tuesday. These are extremely complex issues, and it is imperative that we proceed methodically and in the best interests of Texas A&M.”
The soap oprea continues......
