 Arkansas is no longer going to play Texas in 2009 as they have taken them off the schedule in order to accommodate a new series against Texas A&M.
The original game may not be played until 2013, as reported by The Associated Press: Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long said that adding Texas A&M to its 2009 schedule gave the Razorbacks 13 games, forcing the school to remove one from its nonconference schedule. “While it is unfortunate that we will have to postpone the return game in the Texas series, we felt that it was important to seize the window of opportunity to secure a long-term series with Texas A&M,†Long said. The Longhorns also announced Friday the completion of their 2009 and 2010 schedules. Texas will add a three-game series with Wyoming beginning in 2009, and home games against Louisiana-Monroe in 2009 and Florida Atlantic in 2010.
Tom Burman, the athletic director at Wyoming, claimed that Texas coming to their house may be the biggest game in the history of their stadium. For more recent news from the NCAA reported by the Biz of Football check here.
