It becoming quite clear that A&M wants to get out of the Big 12. When one school holds so much power to the detriment of the others, you have created an unstable situation. The idea of wait to see the impact of the Longhorn network is more than about football. It is what affect it will have on basketball and minor sports, women's and men's.
I do not expect to see any movement for four to five years, but it sure looks like A&M is sending out the message to one and all that they want to say adios amigos.

The Longhorn Network gives Texas huge recruiting advantages if they will broadcast high school games. Imagine having the best high school players in Texas watching their games, and the games of their rival teams, with every commercial break starting with "You're watching the Longhorn Network. Hook 'em, Horns!" Between high school games, they'll show all the great facilities, etc., of Texas. Texas, Texas, Texas.
If I'm A&M, I'm looking at my options.

Recruiting wise, I think Texas gets all or almost all of the best players in Texas anyway.

One of the article comments had this link. Texas A&M Bolting to the SEC Is Just a Matter of Time
It was written 1-27-2011. Really lays out the case for A&M to seek entrance into the SEC.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to stay in the Big 12 unless they had no place else to go. If A&M could truly go to the SEC, they should run as fast as they can. If they stay, they are going to stay in the shadow of Texas forever. I don't know for certain, but I'm guessing A&M could make as much money in the SEC or more. I also think playing in a conference with several national powerhouses could help recruiting.
Okie St. fan clearly doesn't think A&M should leave. Pretty funny blog actually.

Looks like the foundation of the Big 12-2 is crumbling slowly but surely. Apparently, not only is A&M worried about this and looking towards the SEC, so is Oklahoma. It would be great to see them both bail.
If they allow them to show the games of their high school recruits, the longwhorn nextwork would be a HUGE recruiting advantage for uterus. It would effect not only the Big 12-2, but it would effect all of NCAA football, especially anyone who recruits the state.
As much as I loathe the NCAA, they should not allow this.
