This plus we play a tough recruiting game with OU for the recruits in this area. No need to make it any tougher.hunter2012 said:
They would be trading Kansas and Iowa states for Mississippis and Arkansas. Their win total would decrease.
However if they made a playoff run they would fare much better than BDF.
That being said, we don't want OU in the conference they don't bring enough money and would bring everyone else's revenue down. That and the little b*tches habitually tried to undermine us so they should rot in their conference hell.
Expand east not west and don't feed the finebaum troll.

The Aggies would fare better than the Sooners. Way better. In fact, the only time we faced them as an SEC team we smoked them silly.
I've always found this an interesting assertion given the SEC has 8 schools in states with 5 million or less people...with Alabama and Mississippi carrying two schools each (the state of Mississippi with less than 3 million people)...plus a 9th team being a small private school...but Oklahoma with 4 million people plus all their national success would be a drain to what the SEC has going for it.hunter2012 said:

Interesting, but pointless question. They are Bill Murray from Groundhog Day. Win the BDF every year, subsequently get smoked in the CFP. Wake up next year, do it all over again.

I understand the argument that a larger state's local population gives you a nice starting point, but isn't the SEC itself an example that other factors are at play?
To be clear, I'm not predicting or arguing for OU, but your assertions still seem questionable to me. 2016, I can go further back if needed.Quote:
The only way they would be worth it is if adding them would allow the SECN to increase their out of conference state rate. But they do not have enough of a national following that alone, their viewship vs murder's row indicates such. Even as a "national power" they don't move the needle enough for viewer strapped ESPN to raise the rates on the rest of the country.

They may do better in the first five years compared to A&M's first 5 years, but they would do worse than their last 5 years in the Big 12.
