A Texas lawmaker is doing his part to restart the state's biggest dormant football rivalry.
On Tuesday, Texas House of Representatives member Lyle Larson filed a bill for the 86th Legislature that mandates an annual November game between Texas and Texas A&M as early as the 2020 season.
According to the document from the San Antonio-based lawmaker, the bill calls for both teams to play nonconference game each year during the regular season. If the bill is enacted and either school refuses to play each other, the legislation calls to withhold funds for football scholarships for that particular school.
