I seem to recall the TAMU athletics department was in a bit of a financial bind eight years ago when the decision was made to SECede.

I am glad Texas didn't move when it had the chance. It would now be losing closer to 10 games a year rather than just five had that happened.

When I was monitoring the Razorbacks message board a few weeks ago as they were clamoring for Chad's head, which as we all know they got, many of them were advocating a move OUT OF the SEC.

Hogville message board residents realize they will NEVER successfully compete in the SEC West. But the upside is SEC membership helps them fund the inevitable buyouts of fired coaches they do every few years.
A&M was not in a financial bind. They made a decision to do a $435 million stadium rebuild a year after joining the SEC.
