It’s sad that no one cares about A&M. But I can definitely see why. The football team just hasn’t competed up to par. The school has the money (7th richest one the country). So it definitely has potential to afford top quality. Being in the sec has really benefited the team, but like the arrival pointed out, I too wonder how this current setup will fair for the long haul. A&M has the potential to be good with two back to back top ranked classes that had been missing for years before even joining the sec. So I’m not to worried about A&Ms potential to compete but I do question whether or not the sec is a right fit for A&M. The only question of whether or not there is a better fit. Unfortunately no, not if A&M hopes to keep recruiting like a national power. The reason why the sec is so strong iMO is because it has the best teams form each state with Mississippi Being the only exception (neither of those teams are very good). Putting A&M back in the big 12 would be terrible for the school. A&M would most likely become “just another big 12 Texas team” like it was before. There’s to many Texas teams in the conference. While I would propose that the sec west separate from Alabama and then add in Ohio, Texas, and Missouri so the sec could have a legitimate west, I doubt it’s possible for Texas and A&M to both coexist as perennial powers. As fait seems to have it only One school can be great While the other lives in the shadows, much like the situation with OU and OSU. The sec isn’t necessarily perfect for A&M but there really isn’t a better situation for the school. Also people love the idea of one of the big Texas schools representing the state in the sec. Lol, why do you think so many players are flocking to A&M? When you think about it the South Easter Conference is better complete with a traditional southern state like Texas.
