on whether they are leaving or not? What if the SEC voted "yes" on bringing them in, and made it public, then tomorrow the aTm BOR votes to stay in the Big 12...you would look pretty stupid. None of this expansion has been negotiated between anybody....it's just a lot of speculation and media propaganda. Tomorrow's meeting will tell all!
Why would the SEC vote on aTm when they have not voted
- Thread starter Thick
- Start date
There is nothing, yet, to vote on. The SEC statement on the matter is pure CYA. Slive & Co., are slicker than owl feces on a doorknob. No action taken, does not necessarily mean that no course of action was decided.
I'm willing to guess at the A&M BOR meeting tomorrow...
Under Item 15 on the BOR agenda:
Now, I'm week with the legalese. But I could see it crudely playing out this way. Two hours later, Slive shows up in College Station for the late afternoon press conference with Loftin, Byrne, and the BOR.
I'm willing to guess at the A&M BOR meeting tomorrow...
Under Item 15 on the BOR agenda:
- BOR votes to leaves Big iiiiiiiiii, and gives Dr. Loftin sole authority to request invitation to SEC.
- Loftin then leaves room for a moment, making a phone call to Slive & Co., requesting admission into SEC. In the meantime, BOR carries on with other items of the agenda (essentially killing time)
- Slive makes conference call to Presidents of SEC 12, who coincidentally are available for the call.
- Slive briefly presents presidents with A&M's request for invitation into SEC. Slive polls for a consensus to take vote for said admission.
- SEC Presidents decide to immediately vote on the admission, approving of the invitation to Texas A&M to join the SEC. Also, Slive is given the authority to administer/approve the invitation.
- Slive concludes conference call, immediately relaying the invitation to Loftin.
- Loftin returns to the BOR meeting, requesting the BOR to take a call from Slive regarding item 15.
- Upon the BOR's approval, A phone call is opened with Slive, The A&M BOR, and Loftin.
- Slive officially invites Texas A&M to accept membership into the SEC.
- The Board of Regents officially reopen item 15 of the agenda. BOR votes on the acceptance, while Slive is in the line. After successful vote, phone call concludes.
- Meeting concludes, coincidentally, in 15 minutes.
Now, I'm week with the legalese. But I could see it crudely playing out this way. Two hours later, Slive shows up in College Station for the late afternoon press conference with Loftin, Byrne, and the BOR.

It appears it may be slowed a few days/weeks.
It could be anytime from Wednesday, to the end of the month. Who knows?
- BOR gives/reaffirms Loftin's authority on realignment. (Git 'er Done!)
- Loftin gives the Big viiiii the official announcement. (Holla, y'all!)
- Loftin notifies Slive of separation from conference. (I'm Free!)
- Texas Higher Learning circus goes on Tuesday, as planned. (It ain't good for the family if you go shackin' up!)
- SEC extends invitation. (Come On In!)
