"In the 78 year history of the SEC, the conference had accepted the membership applications of only two institutions—Arkansas and South Carolina. Texas A&M is now the third. We remain optimistic that Texas A&M will be a member of the SEC and have started to look  at schedules for 2012-13 involving 13 teams.

"As I said over the past year or so, the SEC has had no particular interest in expansion. We were, and are, happy with 12 teams. If Texas A&M’s President, Dr. Bowen Loftin had not called me in late July, we had no plans to explore adding an institution.

If I was commish I'd push for a 16 game schedule to accommodate a larger conference. Who doesn't want more college football. :dunno:

Slive has to be the biggest fence stradler that I've ever seen, he always has a disclaimer to any situation he's involved with so that he's never wrong about anything. I just don't like and don't trust the guy.  ;)

He's a lawyer, what do expect?

That's the sign of a PC lawyer doing his job.
