Sankey's no comment sounds like he knows what's up. There is no denial.

Sounds like A&M is going to be outvoted on this.

Probably not. Mizzou will vote no as well. These two left to get away from OU/UT and that out of whack conference. Vandy abstained on the Missouri vote, so I would imagine they will here too. That's three right there. I bet there is one more.

So sorry but talks have been ongoing for sometime. You don't get to this point and spend the time and money, likely with attorneys, without the votes. They have them already and by SEC bylaws once a 2/3rd vote is obtained the voice vote must be unanimous and abstaining is permitted at that point.

This leak makes it seem fresh but like with A&M this deal is much farther along than most realize.
