When Texas A&M left the Big 12 to join the Southeastern Conference, most college football observers assumed the Aggies were destined to languish in mediocrity. Yet, on-field competition would pale in comparison to the hurdles the Aggies had already overcome to make the move. In exclusive interviews, SEC Ready, the first feature film from TexAgs Films, recounts the politics, negotiations and broken promises that led A&M to the SEC. Once there, the Aggies defied doubters, went toe-to-toe with college football’s elite and proved they were SEC Ready.
