I'm not going to go find the actual quotes, but the theory was being floated that A&M leaked the secret deal going on to screw up the playoff expansion for the SEC, so that A&M could scoot off to the Big 10 with KU and mess up the SEC plans since they were looking to take on Texas.
Also, they are thinking that the rest of the Big 12 is going to offer KU double the money to stay in the conference, but who wants to stay in a conference that is so desperate they'd have to make an offer like that?
It is amazing how these guys can be so serious about this nonsense.
