The Texas A&M Aggies had previously agreed to a two-year, home-and-home football series with the Oregon Ducks. It was set to take place in the 2018 and 2019 seasons. While it is hard to know what will happen between now and then, the current trajectories of the programs would seem to suggest that those football games would be outstanding match-ups.

We will never know. On Thursday, Texas A&M backed out of the series with Oregon. According to Bruce Feldman of FOX Sports:

"Texas A&M has opted out of a home-and-home series with Oregon that was set for games in 2018 and 2019, FOX Sports confirmed Thursday.Aggie athletic director Eric Hyman exercised a clause from the contract A&M and the Ducks agreed to back in 2009 that said they could get out deal if A&M changed conferences. The deal was made when the Aggies were in the Big 12 and they have since moved to the SEC."

These agreements are made so many years in advance, one can only imagine the number of clauses and the number of scenarios for which those clauses attempt to account. It would appear that this contract had some such clauses, though one hardly imagines that these schools knew just how much would change between 2009 and 2014.

It would have been fascinating to see these two schools play a set of home-and-home games, but it appears that will no longer happen.
