would aggie support or block it?

They would vote against it. They couldn't block it without 4 more votes to do so. That's where it gets dicey. Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina might vote with them. But, Florida would like to add more AAU schools. So it's unclear what the outcome would be.

It would require a 75% vote right? A&M, Missouri and Arkansas for sure could be counted on for no votes. Schools like LSU would probably dislike the idea. I highly doubt Alabama would be for it. I bet atleast one of the Mississippi's wouldn't vote for them (State). Enough votes could be found to block them I'm sure.

As we both know though, Texas is very unlikely to ever "degrade" themselves in such a way as to beg to follow in the footsteps of the Aggies. They have other options.


On a side note, looks like Shaggybevo forum has been shuttered up.

The real issue is money. If Texas made everyone a lot more money they would be invited. Oklahoma would be accepted in a heartbeat. There are probably 6 schools left out there that the SEC would say yes to within an hour: Virginia, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Virginia Tech if Virginia was not interested and N.C. State if North Carolina was not interested. Texas would likely get a yes if they wanted in because the value their brand would add to the conference would pave their way.
