Only a week after it seemed like negotiations for the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners to leave the Big 12 early were dead in the water, it’s now official that both schools will join the SEC for the 2024-25 academic year. Both schools will officially join the conference on July 1, 2024, 12 years to the day after Texas A&M joined (#branding).
So what does that mean for Texas A&M? Well, a lot, as it relates to our athletic schedules. Obviously it means we’ll once again be playing the Longhorns and Sooners in sports across the board, but the one everyone cares about the most (and the sport where the schedules will change the most drastically) is football.
