<p>Last Thursday A&M president R. Bowen Loftin described the Big 12 as being in a state of uncertainty because of the Longhorn Network.</p>
<p>Beebe argued Tuesday that Loftin was directing that word toward the upstart network and not the league. Beebe also said the Big 12 was not going to get the benefit of the doubt from observers concerning any issue over the next few years.</p>
<p>An ESPN reporter relayed to Beebe that an A&M official had said Monday that the official believed about 60 percent of Aggies want to move to the SEC.</p>
<p>I dont know where hes getting that from; thats not the sense I have from those folks, Beebe said. That issue has been around that institution for a long time, but thankfully most of the coaches and administrators and others are adamant about wanting to be in the Big 12. (Athletic director) Bill Byrne expressed that yesterday.</p>
<p>Beebe was asked what A&M fans would think 10 years from now if the Aggies were to bolt for the SEC in the immediate future.</p>
<p>Then they would be saying 80 percent of our people (wanted) to stay in the Big 12, Beebe said, smiling, and thought that we made a bad decision.</p>
