Economist Dr. Ray Perryman released an analysis that concludes that if A&M were to leave, the state would lose 3,050 jobs and $217.2 million in output each year, even if the rest of the conference remains intact.

The Aggies' departure would reduce state fiscal revenue by $28.2 million a year and losses to local governments would total $13.1 million, Perryman estimated.
