Big 12 statement: You're still welcome here A&M

The other nine members reaffirmed their long term, unconditional and unequivocal commitments made to each other and the Conference last summer. Although the Board hopes Texas A&M remains in the Conference, the Board is prepared to aggressively move forward to explore expansion opportunities. In doing so, the Board recognizes the strength of the Big 12 Conference national brand and the opportunity to capitalize on it.

To summarize, the conference wants to make sure all the Aggies want to know they're welcome in the big, happy Big 12 family.
