The Southeastern Conference says it has accepted Texas A&M’s application to the league, but the move is being held up because a Big 12 school has threatened legal action if the Aggies leave. The SEC says in a statement released today that it had received “unanimous written assurance” from the Big 12 on Sept. 2 that it was free to accept Texas A&M. The SEC says its presidents approved the invitation to Texas A&M, but today it received word from the Big 12 that one of its schools had withdrawn its previous consent and was considering legal action. According to ESPN, Baylor is the school in question.
Today’s poll question: Will it help or hurt the quality of SEC football to have Texas A&M join the conference?
