Austin, TX — A San Antonio lawmaker is trying to get the Longhorns-Aggies annual football game back on.
Republican Representative Lyle Larson filed a bill yesterday which would coerce the schools to play each other in November. Larson says the bill would take away scholarship money from both schools if they don’t schedule a game by 2019.
The UT-A&M game hasn’t been held since 2011 when the Aggies left the Big 12 for the SEC.
Texas did reach out to A&M about starting the rivalry back up in 2022, but was told their schedule was already full.
