Mike Slive should just go ahead and pull the trigger. After all, with rumors swirling of a potential Texas A&M move to the SEC we’re forced to cover the Aggies as though they are already the league’s 13th member.
As you know by now, Texas’ new partnership with ESPN — the Longhorn Network — has threatened to disturb the Big 12′s tenuous peace. A&M and other league schools are worried about Texas using the network as a recruiting tool. They’re also worried about UT putting league games on the network.
A&M officials stoked the flames of discontent yesterday during Big 12 Media Days in Dallas. According to Jason King of Yahoo! Sports, Texas A&M would not allow Aggie football coach Mike Sherman to speak on camera with reporters from the Longhorn Network.
When asked to talk about his rival’s new toy, Sherman said: “I’m not talking about it. I’m not talking about it. I have enough on my plate getting my team ready to play.”
Yep. That sounds like one big happy family.
