Big 12 and Big Ten Expansion: Texas A&M isnt a lock to go to the Pac-10, writes SIs Andy Staples. Why? Because the SEC is in the mix: emissaries from the SEC initiated discussions with Texas A&M athletic director Bill Byrne months ago. So its feasible that the SEC could get in the expansion mix, adding perhaps FSU and Texas A&M (our darkhorse: Notre Dame). As for the Big Ten, now that it has 12 teams, what if it decides to add two more Rutgers and Maryland? Then the league would have a footprint in the coveted New York and Washington DC markets. Lastly, the impending Pac-16. Imagine being a Texas beat writer. Youre about to go from road trips to Columbia, Manhattan and Ames
to Tempe, Seattle and Los Angeles. Nice upgrade.
