Welcome A & M they are not that good at football or football recruiting.

Better than most. They recruit consistently in the top-25 with an occasional top-10 class. And they are #20 on the all-time football programs rankings. That's better than Ole Miss or Arkansas and way better than South Carolina, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt

AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas is still "looking at all options" before deciding whether to stay in the crumbling Big 12 or move to another league, athletic director DeLoss Dodds said Saturday.

Dodds spoke outside of his stadium suite before Saturday's Texas-TCU baseball game, but declined further comment on what those options are.

Dodds has said he wants to keep the Big 12 together. The Longhorns are considered the key to the league's survival, particularly after it lost Nebraska (Big Ten) and Colorado (Pac-10) in a matter of two days this week.

The Texas regents have scheduled a meeting Tuesday for "discussion and appropriate action regarding athletic conference membership."

An official at a Big 12 school with knowledge of the talks confirmed that Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott was traveling to Texas and Oklahoma this weekend to present a case for Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to join the Pac-10.

looks like tuesday could be an interesting day. get your popcorn ready.opcorn:

Texas A&M, which is reported to be considering a move to the Southeastern Conference, has not scheduled a regents meeting. Texas A&M President Bowen Loftin would not comment this week on speculation that A&M is considering moves to the SEC or the Pac-10, or say if the school was leaning toward one league over another.

i wonder what the political pressure is like for atm/regents to follow ut?

Gov. Rick Perry, a Texas A&M graduate and former Aggie yell leader, has appointed every regent to the schools' respective boards.

More rumors about the state of Texas vs A&M:

Texas and Texas Tech are going to put A&M on the black list if they join the SEC meaning no scheduled games in any sport.

THe rumors mention that they do not want to open their borders to the SEC.

The Southeastern Conference, reportedly keen on adding Texas A&M amid the onrush of a Big 12 shakeup, would be just as interested in luring Texas and Oklahoma but doesn't see either as a realistic option, sources with knowledge of the SEC's maneuverings have told ESPN and ESPN.com.

An SEC athletic director told ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach that the SEC's first choice would be adding the Longhorns, but might consider taking Texas A&M because it expands the league's footprint into the Dallas and Houston TV markets.

Given the fact that Texas A&M may be the only Big 12 school the SEC could add, the league was prepared to make the move even if Texas and Oklahoma went elsewhere.

"We've got to be diligent in evaluating this," another SEC athletic director told ESPN.com's Schlabach. "We can't just add teams who are going to split the pie without adding anything substantial to the pie."

Or could it be that they want to weasel their way into the SEC bringing the schoon along with them to leave aTm, a gang of merry pirates, and school full of bible thumpers in the dust? Secretly of course, on the DL.

I doubt it.
