A&M has the Gene Stallings tie to the SEC, so it will make him happy, but my Aggies will be in for some lean times as they go up against the SEC. Three straight bowl losses, the last two being blowouts of 20 or more. Still, I think it will differentiate them enough from Texas for recruiting purposes to give them a better shot at top Texas HS recruits. Just ask, where would you rather play, the SEC or the Pac 10? We need something to make up for whatever Mack Brown tells them.
Texas did have a sweet deal in the Big 12, as they pretty much called the shots, and got the biggest share of the pot. Not sure what the Pac-10 breakdown of revenue will be. The SEC just wants a foothold in Texas' major TV markets, so A&M will be good enough to get the #5 and #10 TV markets included in the SEC fold.
Clemson and Georgia Tech would make the most sense to go after to balance out the East division.
