MrSEC.com has learned that the Southeastern Conference has indeed called for a special meeting this weekend. The league’s 12 presidents/chancellors are expected to take part in the chat on Sunday.
A source inside one of the league’s 12 member institutions has confirmed to us that the meeting — or conference call — will take place. (We say conference call, because at least one top SEC administrator is expected to be unavailable for a face-to-face meeting this weekend.)
It’s assumed that this meeting will deal with the potential entrance of Texas A&M and/or Florida State into the SEC. It’s also possible that Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Virginia Tech will be mentioned during the discussion.
Whether this will be a temperature-taking session or an opportunity for SEC leaders to make a formal vote remains a mystery.

In an earlier post, you said...
2. Chip Brown of Orangebloods.com writes that the SEC has called “an emergency meeting to address the possible addition of Texas A&M.” (If so, we know of at least one SEC president/chancellor who is away from his office and won’t be attending.)
So is that President going to make it now?
It looks like TAMU BOR will be voting on this issue on Monday via 22 Aug, so that means that TAMU will be in SEC very very soon
