Conflicting reports on Texas A&M
NOT OFFICIAL. Seems to be just speculation.
"Texas A&M officials met today with the Pac-10's Larry Scott and Kevin Weiberg and ultimately turned down an invitation to join the Pac-10, according to a report by Oranglebloods.com's Chip Brown. Brown cited a unnamed Big 12 athletic director as his source on a message on Twitter.

"Texas A&M turned down invite to join P10 in mtg today with P10's Larry Scott and Kevin Weiberg in College Station, a Big 12 AD confirms," Brown wrote from his Twitter account, @ChipBrownOG.

Billy Liucci of agsports.com had a conflicting report.

"Just received word from two sources that Aggies have NOT turned down Pac-10 and are still weighing P10/SEC option," a message from his Twitter account, @billyliucci, read.

Chris Level of RedRaiderSports.com also chimed in with a report similar to Liucci's:

"Based on two trusted people that I just spoke with I think that the Aggies are still very much considering the Pac 10 scenario," Level said from his Twitter account, @ChrisLevel.

The Dallas Morning News' Chuck Carlton reported in today's paper that a move to SEC has momentum in A&M's divided house.

1. Looks like SEC or stay in the Big 12.
That's what I read today. They may control the fate of the Big 12 more than Texas now.

2. Now it looks like the Pac 10 may be offering Kansas instead of A&M
Pac 10 commissioner Larry Scott's plane was near College Station earlier today--presumably to make the offer to A&M. (He visited Oklahoma and Oklahoma State yesterday.) After A&M, his plane went to Lubbock, then Austin, and now appears ready to go to Kansas City: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N228PK.

3. Like watching Santa Claus on Norad.
Who's been naughty and who's been nice?
