Not sure how the current ag admin can stick around for much longer after all this. Ags who actually attended and graduated from Texas A&M University might be delusional about sports, but they're not stupid people. They will only buy so much of the BS that their admin has been selling.
So a truthful statement from the aTm admin to the students and alumni--which, of course, won't happen--might look something like this:
"Fellow ags, those of us in the administration have long known about Texas and Oklahoma's overtures to the SEC, and the SEC's overtures, discussions, and negotiations with said institutions. We used our personal and institutional capital to try to stop this from happening, we voted no at every turn, we attempted to work behind the scenes to convince our fellow SEC schools to not allow this, but we lost. We tried, but we failed. We were completely ineffectual and impotent to stop this. Of course, we didn't want you to know about it, because you would make our lives a living hell, and you stupid little people, who can't see the bigger picture, would have gotten in our way and ruined any chance we had at stopping this tragedy. So we waited until the news was leaked, and we acted surprised. To further our devious and deceitful plan to keep you ignorant hayseeds in the dark, we flat out lied, and told you that we did not know about the plan to add Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC.
When it comes down to it, our fellow SEC schools have little respect for Texas A&M and little regard for our opinion. Now we're running scared that Texas will come to dominate us and our beloved conference. I don't look forward to receiving countless hate mail letters from you telling me how some "sip" you know at a goat roping made fun of aggies after they whipped us again on Thanksgiving Day. Well, at least remember we're still better than Baylor--and I assure you, we will not allow Baylor to join the SEC."
