one of the funniest things in all of this, at least as it stands now--the big 10 has 12 teams and the big 12 only 10 teams.

No the funniest thing in all this is that our Pres is worried about the Olympic sports.

Texas and A&M are the only schools who have any interest in moving as things stand, right?  The other SouTards are just along for the ride.  

WTF do Texas and A&M want that Beebe can't get them?  This doesn't seem like it should be that hard.

Based on two trusted people that I just spoke with I think that the Aggies are still very much considering the Pac 10 scenario.

These various meetings are likely not to hand out invitations but rather "we'd like it if you applied to join what we've got going out West"

Keep in mind that you must apply to join Pac 10 and they must approve you like was the case with the Big Ten and Nebraska.

The plane carrying Larry Scott and other PAC 10 officials should land in Austin in about ten minutes.

This is all going to spill into tomorrow and Tuesday before firm decisions are made and approved.

Other than Academic benefits, the list of tangible pros out weighs the cons to stay in the B12 if Beebe's really got a TV contract that can measure up.

[steve dave]

How come everyone that has every posted on twitter can track every little step the Pac10 commish makes but nobody seems to know where Beebe is or what he's doing.  Shouldn't there be tons of

Dan Beebe getting ready to land in Austin to get on his knees and beg Texas to stay

type tweets?

The pilot of that plane thinks he's sneaky. Headed to Hunstville, I mean College Station. Now we're headed to San Marcos, I mean Austin.

Academic benefits are a myth.  Yeah, the pros far, far outweigh the cons.  So why can't Beebe have this done in like 5 minutes?

I really feel that if somebody briefed me on a few details, I could have this hashed out pretty damn quick with both schools over some Texas BBQ and beer.  

Then I'd ICE both of the UT and A&M reps.

Tx A&M spokesman Jason Cook tells OB: "Texas A&M continues to evaluate its options. At this point, all options continue to be on the table."

Haven't checked goPowertard lately.  How are they handling it?  Has FITZ gone AWOL?

Cook said A&M has not turned down the Pac-10 and denied Orangebloods.com's report to that effect, citing a Big 12 AD's confirmation

When the conference was imploding, we were moving stones in the yard filled with dog crap.

Second.

Also,

Ketchum has the following regarding the Chris Level tweets.

Interesting stuff. One of the things everyone has to be careful with in regards to A&M is that everyone hasn't been on the same page from the jump. One person might very well tell someone a 180 from another connected sources and they might both believe themselves to be true.

A&M to the SEC:   

The Big Score: A&M goes it alone

Mark Passwaters
Special to AggieYell.com

What was once unthinkable has, apparently, come to pass. Texas A&M and
the University of Texas, barring the unforeseen or political activity,
will be heading their separate ways in 2011. The Aggies will be the
newest member of the Southeastern Conference.

Aggieyell.com has confirmed through multiple sources that Pac-10
Commissioner Larry Scott met with members of the A&M Board of Regents
in College Station Sunday morning. At that meeting, the Scott was
informed that the board would be declining the conference's offer to
join. Scott was the second conference head to visit College Station
this weekend, with the SEC's Mike Slive being the first.

Aggieyell.com has been told by more than once source that the driving
forces behind the move to the SEC are Board Chairman Morris Foster and
A&M Chancellor Mike McKinney. In part due to a push by former A&M and
Alabama head coach--and current Regent--Gene Stallings, there is a 6-3
board majority in favor of making the move to the SEC.

A&M Athletic Director Bill Byrne was not involved in either meeting
and has not been consulted on the decision by the board. This
decision, sources indicate, will be the board's alone.

The support of Foster and McKinney, both close associates of Gov. Rick
Perry, for the SEC has surprised many observers. Perry, who has
repeatedly said he wanted the Texas teams to stick together--a move
many thought meant he supported the Pac-10 concept. Perry has since
said he intends to stay out of the process, which he may indeed be doing.
