Sources confirm: ISU's ace in hole is Harvey Dent.

I prefer my aces to have only one face.

Multiple reports says A&M approved by SEC, will make official announcement at Noon.

Let's hope all the dominoes fall as soon as the announcement gets out.

Link? I'll believe it and breathe a sigh of relief when I see it.

According to aggieyell.com Texas A&M has been accepted into the SEC.

I must say this sounds a little premature....

I must say this sounds a little premature....

Or as the Aggies would understand: "I think they may have filled their jars a little too soon"

If we quote his post over and over, could we consider that "multiple reports?"

That would be as credible as anything else at this point.

True.

If they've been approved, whats the point in waiting until tomorrow to announce it? They might as well have just announced it tonight if thats the case.

I wish, but this will go on as the world's longest root canal

Premature evacuation? :unsure:

I fully expect them to make a spectacle about it. Someone tweeted about things being set up in a paparking lot.

 

[CyBer]

It almost seems like the conference as a whole is waiting for Aggie to leave so we can proceed. Why not just proceed and not wait for aggie?

This thread has remained remarkably on topic. :smile:

If rumors are correct and it takes 2 schools to leave for exit fees to disappear, Iowa State can't make the first jump because we aren't a ripple. Now if aTm leaves, THEN Iowa State can jump without thinking twice.

because of the exit penalties. We're talking about 30 million dollars. If the Big 12 goes out and adds new members before Aggie leaves, then they will try to make the case that the conference will not be damaged by their departure, and they therefore do not owe exit fees.

Thanks to the anti-ISU and A&M fan to be the one to announce this. Nevertheless, I'm going to close my eyes. Tell me when the ride is over.

 

[InCytful]

Links to the A&M departure? I haven't seen any confirmation, though at this point it's just a formality.

Male refractory period. Even when you're this excited:

It's gonna take some time to fill up enough jars for the entire SEC.

So doesn't this alone make a case for the conference trying to stay together -aggie?
