Ever since the Texas A&M Aggies almost certainly used beat writer Brent Zwernerman to leak the interest of the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners joining the SEC during the conference’s media days on Wednesday, the Aggies have been in full meltdown mode.
Beyond achieving peak TexAgs in the two-plus days since — a remarkable accomplishment — athletics director Ross Bjork quickly expressed the school’s opposition to Texas joining the conference the Aggies used to escape the long shadow of the Longhorns.
But with reports that A&M was left out of discussions by the conference, potentially in fear of just such a leak, no other schools joined the Aggies in opposing a conference vote to extend an invitation to the Longhorns and Sooners next week that looks like nothing more than a formality.
