ESPN :Report: Texas A&M set to leave Big 12

[indianmustang]

SMU athletic director Steve Orsini said Thursday that he has had informal talks with Big 12 officials for some time to inform them of the school's improvements and growth. He said it has been SMU's goal to join a BCS conference since it wasn't included in the Southwest Conference's merger with the Big 8 that formed the Big 12 in 1996.

Texas A&M opens its season next Sunday at home against SMU.
