Reveille may be heading east to the SEC in 2013 |
Oddly enough, Baylor, perhaps the conference's weakest member, could actually play the role of Big 12 savior this time around. The SEC has accepted Texas A&M on the condition that the Aggies can exit the Big 12 without legal action. Well here's a shocker! The Baylor Bears object to this idea. It makes sense that Baylor would want to block this move. The athletic program at Baylor is much closer to SMU, than it is to Texas Tech. If Texas A&M sets off a domino effect that leads to the formation of 16 team super conferences, Baylor looks to be one of the teams left out in the cold. If Baylor allows the Aggies to head east, the Bears could find themselves playing in some weird variation of the Mountain West or Conference USA in 2014. That means no more BCS checks for Baylor, and that means Baylor will not let Texas A&M go without a fight. This is a developing story, but it looks as if college football as we know it may be staring at it's dying day. The era of the super conference will soon be upon us. Fortunately for them, the attention starved folks at Texas A&M can at least claim to be trendsetters for a change.
