I think this is a preemptive strike to facilitate SEC participation in the 4 game championship. There's no other reason for the SEC to involve itself with the Big Texas conference. A&M wouldn't have left if they had any future there. I'll be so surprised(tongue-in-cheek) if they pick up the Sugar Bowl for the location.
