Could the SEC be getting bigger?

We are a long way from that happening but an interesting report from Texas suggests the possibility exists as two of the biggest programs in college football could soon be jumping to the nation’s best conference.

Texas A&M Ross Bjork has reacted to the news with the following comment:
