Texas A&M athletics director Ross Bjork tells the SEC Network he will be “diligent” to protect Texas A&M amid reports Texas and Oklahoma are considering asking to become members of the Southeastern Conference. Bjork said he wants the Aggies to “be the only school from Texas” in the SEC. A&M has been in the SEC since 2012 after leaving the Big 12 Conference.

Meanwhile, sources tell Stadium there is interest by the SEC to have Texas and Oklahoma join the league. SEC by laws indicate 11 of the 14 schools have to approve extending an invitation to the schools.
