The Texas A&M Aggies are the students, graduates, and sports teams of Texas A&M University. The nickname Aggie was once common at land-grant or ag (agriculture) schools in many states. The teams are also simply referred to as A&M or Texas Aggies, and the official school colors are maroon and white. The mascot is a rough collie named Reveille.
The sports teams compete in Division I of the NCAA. Until the dissolution of the Southwest Conference, Texas A&M was a charter member of that conference. The Aggies became members of the Big 12 Conference with its subsequent formation in 1996. On July 1, 2012, they left the Big 12 Conference and joined the Southeastern Conference (SEC).
