So, if Texas announces the move before the Democrats return to Texas, will it be a done deal and the pols can do nothing about it?Brent Wyrick

- Prominent Big 12 source tells the American-Statesman the Texas-OU move to the SEC is almost done. "They've been working on this for a minimum of 6 months, and the A&M leadership was left out of discussions and wasn't told about it." Move could become official in a week.
- Asked about A&M being kept in the dark during secret negotiations between Texas-OU and SEC, one connected SEC source tells me, "I wouldn't dispute that."
- I'm told probably only Texas Gov. Greg Abbott could stop this move to the SEC from happening, and logical minds would think he had to have known about this for a while.

Greg Abbott is a Texas grad. So is Dade Phelan, who is speaker of the Texas House.
Also I was wrong about the legislature. Even if this comes up in the special session they can’t pass any bills on it because there’s no quorum right now since the Dems left the state.Brent Wyrick

I wouldn’t want the football team but the University as a whole would fit the B1G profile. At one point when we did this last time, the move was supposedly going to be OU and Kansas to the Big 10 because of the AAU college designation. I’m pretty sure they don’t want to end up with the basketball program in limbo or in the AACBrent Wyrick
