While it certainly seems like the Texas A&M Aggies were made out to be an athletic program kept in the dark while the Texas football program and Oklahoma Sooners were in conversation to join the SEC, the complete story gets interesting. It is clear that Texas A&M does not want Texas and Oklahoma in the SEC.
And what is also clear is that the Aggies definitely don’t want the Lone Star Showdown rival Longhorns leaving the Big 12 for the SEC. The comments from Texas A&M head football coach Jimbo Fisher on the matter of Texas and Oklahoma joining the SEC when he “warned” them for the challenge ahead became somewhat of a meme among the Longhorns faithful.
