Texas A&M Board of Regents directs president to vote in favor of SEC expansion

In a meeting that concluded on Wednesday evening, the Texas A&M Board of Regents announced that they will vote in favor of SEC expansion during a meeting with conference presidents on Thursday.

Although the Board had concerns about the communication process relating to this matter, today the Board received the information it needed to properly consider the long-term ramifications of a possible expansion. President Banks and Athletic Director Bjork briefed board members after they participated in meetings yesterday and today with the SEC Commissioner’s Office.

The board concluded that this expansion would enhance the long-term value of the SEC to student athletes and all of the institutions they represent — including Texas A&M.
