They have no interest in the SEC - just floated their names out there to hijack SEC media days

Also probably true. Just OU/Sip tossing a grenade.

Sips are like leftists.

Name one thing they have made better, or not ruined.

Homosexuality?

They may have perfected it, but they didn't "make it better."

No way in Hell do I want either of those schools in our conference.

F them. Let them go to the BIG 10 or PAC.

tu is a cancer. If the SEC invites these folks into their homes, they will live to regret it. It's all about them all the time. Don't believe me, call your BU, TT, TCU and OSU friends right now.

They destroyed the Big12 and will infect the SEC. Sometimes you just say no. tu made their bed and ridiculed us for leaving.

Now we are highly ranked and they see their mistake. Embrace the suck, sips. You under estimate how much you are disliked around the country.

Sure, I hate the idea. I also remember never losing to the sips while at A&M but agonized the 77-0 debacle.

I understand the negative emotions of playing mofos again.

But the SEC as a whole would become the most powerful athletic conference. I know Sankey will bend over backwards to bring them in. For the greater good of the conference.

I hate it.

But imagine them burnt orange mofos chanting SEC, SEC, SEC.... in Austin. Now that's funny.

---

The SEC is already the most powerful athletic conference...

Really?

Can you show me where in the SEC bylaws state it requires 75% vote?

Not really. If the SEC is going to be a first mover in expansion, why not scoop up the biggest names out there instead of a small market team and a team with a lot of baggage?

You think Covid-19 and its purported variants are a pandemic...just allow tu and its hippie horde (read *****) into the SEC. They've already killed one conference and they are not a "plus"...THEY ARE virulent in every aspect.

Yes agreed. This move makes zero sense for the SEC. If they're going to 16 teams, why not get bigger names/names with less baggage? We're on the doorstep of having players on payroll. Revenue maximization dictates that the next two teams to add are Notre Dame and Ohio State.

Man, the first article on TexAgs home page has it:

Quote:

---

The SEC's official bylaws require 75 percent of the schools to approve any possible admission of a school, but as AL.com reported Wednesday, there has long been an understanding within the conference that there should be unanimous support for any school to be admitted into the conference. Loftin called it a "gentlemen's agreement" that all it took was one school strongly disavowing a possible school's admission to kill the invite, saying, for instance, if Florida didn't want Florida State to join the conference, that'd be enough.

---

Woohoo the whole conference gets better while we are negatively impacted! Why should I give a flying fook about the sec being better at this point when they'd hose us like this.

ND and OSU are really inserted as hypotheticals for the broader argument that (1) the SEC is the best league, (2) it wants to add 2 teams, so why (3) would they add OU and sip when there are better suitors out there?

With that said, given that paying players is about to be a reality, if the money is there, the interest will be there.

OG UNF said:

I'd rather the SEC die than be in the same conference as Texas.

This. This right here.

They add no substantive value to the conference. None. I would hope our conference partners see that and vote the correct way. Otherwise I hope we go scorched earth and lobby FSU, Miami, North Carolina, Clemson, etc. to petition to join as well and help push them through as a tremendous FU to the rest of the conference.

Not even close. The former has demonstrated it's toxicity, whereas the latter is a placebo by comparison.
I see you're not aware of the venomous, historical facts.

OSU and ND were the crazy "reach" suitors.

Sip has tons of baggage. OU is really just a small market team.

It seems to me that you actually increase the revenue pool by adding a UVA/VT and North Carolina school.

But given the Supreme Court ruling that says schools can't limit educational benefits and invited a challenge to schools limiting any other benefit for playing, we're on the doorstep of paying players. Welcome to the new world where money is king. If the money is on the table, everyone will have their ears open.
