It's going on eight years now since Texas and Texas A&M played each other. One of the
best rivalries in football was shutdown when the Aggies joined the SEC. Renewing the
rivalry is not a matter of money for the schools because Texas and Texas A&M are ranked
one and two in the nation in athletic revenue generated. It's a matter of what's good for
college football and the interest it creates nationally. The overwhelming majority of students
(97% Texas, 89% A&M) want the series revived. Both school presidents and even the Texas
governor want to see the two schools play again. So, will it happen?
I'm guessing no...at least not in the near future. Just my take, what's yours?
