Von Miller is an Aggie. Texas A&M plays in the SEC. That is good enough for marketing.
What is the BDF gonna do? They can't claim him because that would help A&M, which is in SEC country.
quote:Nope, full speed ahead.
SEC could have tapped the brakes a bit.... afterall, they'll be able to claim Myles Garret in a couple years.

Exactly this.
quote:Yep. I'm okay with the rest of the SEC stepping into Texas A&M's shine when we have it. Anyone who pays attention to Von is getting a positive A&M message.
Fine with it.
Von didn't play in the SEC but A&M is now in it. I can see both sides of the argument but I can see why the SEC woulda wana claim him obviously.

Agree with OP. Von is great, but he isn't a SEC product.
quote:Good idea. No need to ask Von to move over. Just add it to the list. However, we both know that Von and the defense won the Super Bowl. The QB just rode that horse to glory.
Wouldn't it have made more sense to claim the SB winning QB who actually played for an SEC team?
quote:That's the price of moving conferences, that that history doesn't really have a home anymore, other than the school itself. I think it was worth it, but we can't have our cake and eat it.
Are you saying Von Miller has no home?
John David Crow, Dat Nguyen, Jacob Green, and Bubba Bean have all been announced as SEC Football Legends, and it's only a matter of time before Von is as well. Von's home is wherever his school is, which is now the SEC. So while he may not be a product of the SEC, the SEC can now lay claim to him. Goodness knows the BDF won't.
