Wrong and you are very misinformed. The meeting was to vote on EXPANSION, not to invite A&M. A&M has to formally request an invitation, THE SEC CAN NOT invite A&M publicly. TAMU will vote to apply to the SEC on Monday. Obviously, there is no "invitation" prior to something like that from the SEC because that could be considered tampering, or whatever other legal terms could be used to describe it and it subsequently becomes a court mess. There are specific steps that have to be followed anytime something like this goes down.
ESPN is trying to protect their investment (tu) by releasing these article that the average person that is not knowledgeable on the subject will simply believe.
Read said article from 1911Sooner. Unless you have some special insider info i would say your getting butt hurt for no reason. I know just as much about the situation as you and everyone and if you think that the SEC cannot invite publicly your wrong. The Big 10 did it and so did the Pac 12 last year. ESPN could give a tinkers damn about whether or not A&M leaves because they know everyone else is for keeping the conference alive and will go after other schools to keep it that way.
