NACOGDOCHES, Texas (KTRE) - The SFA Board of Regents voted Tuesday to join the University of Texas system. The university heard offers from three other systems as part of a process which started in August. Other systems involved included Texas State, Texas Tech, and Texas A&M. Regents Chair Karen Gantt said the university and all systems agreed to keep the school's name, mascot and colors intact. She said all applying systems, including UT, agreed. In an interview with KLTV/KTRE, UT System Board of Regents Chairman Kevin Eltife said the SFA brand will be preserved.
