Oh, boy. It looks like it’s gonna be one of those days.

Yesterday, trusting the Texas-based site Orangebloods.com, we linked to a report from that Rivals site stating that Texas A&M sources had said yesterday that the school would withdraw from the Big 12 today.

Meanwhile, The New York Times reported that A&M had already given a phoned departure notice to Brady Deaton, the chairman of the Big 12 board. The NYT report claimed that “two college officials with direct knowledge of the decision” had tipped the paper.

A&M has denied that report this morning.

We still await official word from College Station. Since both Texas A&M and the Big 12 offices are based in the Lone Star State, we’ll continue to give extra credence to Texas-based reports… as we did late last night/early this morning.

Which is why we’re one of the few sites not having to backtrack this morning.
