Commissioner Mike Slive tried to temporarily quell the "enormous speculation" about whether -- or more likely when -- the Southeastern Conference will add a 14th member to join Texas A&M. Slive said Tuesday, a day after festivities welcoming member No. 13, that the SEC presidents and chancellors are not currently considering any other schools for admission and that Texas A&M was the only one to submit an application. He reiterated that he anticipates having just 13 members in 2012-13. "I really can't emphasize this enough. This has all been about Texas A&M," Slive said in a conference call with Texas A&M President R. Loftin Bowen. "We have not initiated any conversations with any institution. This was about Texas A&M understanding that some of the complexities that 13 teams brings, and that's really it." Slive said the SEC will begin negotiations this fall with ESPN and CBS to upgrade the current 15-year contracts with both networks.
