Breaking News from Billy Liucci

And here is the scud missile I’ve been expecting from Texas A&M and referenced a couple of hours ago:
TAMU is now posting a Boards of Regents meeting for Monday (such meetings have to be posted 72 hours prior). Tie that in with the fact that the SEC presidents are meeting on Sunday and you have the accelerated timeline that I’ve been hinting at.
Something else to keep in mind is the fact that President Loftin has the power to make the A&M-to-SEC deal happen on his own. It can happen prior to the BOR actually meeting and voting on the issue. In other words, the Ags could have made the move at any time next week (following Sunday’s SEC presidents’ meeting) and simply thrown a "pending BOR approval" in the announcement. From there, the BOR would have simply rubber-stamped it with what will likely be a unanimous "yes" vote.
What you just witnessed was a show of solidarity on Texas A&M’s part. This is a like-minded group of decision-makers that just sent the message that they are going to get things done. The most aggressive move I’ve seen from this university since I’ve been covering Aggie athletics.

I'm assuming somewhere in that ginormous paragraph of legal speak was something that said "we're gonna vote on giving the big 12 the finger"?

Any possible way the SEC could turn them down after all of this?
Cause that would be pretty hilarious.

I could be wrong here, but if aTm is going through all this then they most likely have an open invite to the SEC.
Or, you could just be poking fun and I missed it, either way.

They moved the meeting to Monday because the Texas School Board is having a meeting on Tuesday to discuss if A&M moving to the SEC is in the best interest of the State of Texas.

So all in all, lets say A&M is getting a bid and accpeting, is the general consensus that FSU is next?
I was always under the impression that any additions would be to increase market coverage - with Florida in, FSU would not really fit that model.

Hell, the Aggies aren't even competitive in the Big 12
Didn't A&M beat OU last year or year before last? I thought OU was pretty good, they have "Big Game" Bob Stoops.
