Aren't you the one who thinks SEC is the strongest conference when Big10 makes more money?

Strongest on the field !

Good for the SEC. Not good for us. That's what we all hate about it, but that's what it is.

---

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?

---

We're going to lose our recruiting advantage with Texas in the SEC.

---

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.

---

You think ND and OSU are interested in SEC?

You think tu is toxic and ND is not?

---

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.

---

And who are the better suitors you speak of?

---

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.

---

I like the UVA/VT NC idea.

Doubt they would want to leave ACC though.

Do you not remember the days when A&M, tu and OU were in the same conference?

tu and OU got about 80% of the upper tier recruits, we got about 10% and the rest of them went to the SEC or maybe another Big XII school.

One of our advantages right now is that we are the ONLY team in Texas that is in the SEC and that plays a role to some degree (i'd argue a pretty signficiant one) among blue chip recruits. Giving up that advantage gets us what, exactly?

The fact of the matter is that if the dildos west of us and the cheaters north of us end up joining our conference - we go back to the status quo we suffered through all through the late 90's and up until 2011. Our momentum will be absolutley killed on recruiting, and we will be the proverbial historical Aggie program again in that we claim we want to sit at the table of the elites, but when we finally have the opportunity to do so - we shrink from the challenge and settle with being a middle of the pack program that occasionally has a good season and who will fall back into the battered wife syndrome of spending our existince focusing on nothing but trying to appease or one up tu instead of what we have been doing for the last several years - focusing on Texas A&M.

Cynical? Yep. But guess what - we have 115 years of this in our blood, and the last 10 years hasn't washed it out completely. We'll be back to the same old same old inside of 3 years. Book it.

I hear you man.

Like I said, I'm c/o 89 and lived through all that BS when most of the posters here were in diapers.

I hate the sips and color orange is not even allowed in my house.

I understand the SEC recruiting advantage. But here are some thoughts. I remember us dominating the sips and doing ok against the sooners, short period maybe. Where we fell off is when when RC didn't get the support to upgrade our facilities and got his ass handed to him by Stoops and Brown.

But I feel we're not the same aTm of the Big12. Our facility is second to none and let's see what we can do against these mofos. Yes sips are toxic. We all know. But can they really push around UF, UGA, LSU, TN, and the rest of the SEC? Man, if they can, more power to them.

But I don't think we're the same A&M and the sips will have the same leverage in the SEC.

Completely agree with Schmell.

Being in the SEC is a huge advantage for us in terms of recruiting. If they're in the SEC, we no longer have that advantage.

Best response I have seen on the topic is that TAMU recruiters can now say to perspective recruits..... "Even TU does not want to play in the Big 12"

True, but not sure how that helps a recruit who is down to us or tu and now tu is in the SEC with us.

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...

Surely you realize that the Big 10 only makes more money because they were the last to work a deal. The deal deal for the SEC will surpass the Big 10 and then when the Big 10 negotiates their new deal in several years it will surpass the SEC and so on and so forth. The SEC is the superior conference and it's not really debatable.

Beware...adding tu to ANY conference is like 'gain of function" research in virology for weapons of mass destruction. Be afraid...VERY AFRAID!



I've warned ya.

AggieDruggist89 said:

---

Then why do Big 10 Schools get a larger payout??

---

They signed their tv contract in 2017. The CBS contract was signed before then and will expire at the end of 2023. SEC will get $$$$ more from the ABC/ESPN deal.

This is an effective analogy. I was on the fence until I read this one.

Money doesn't mean **** if you can win ballgames against the best.

If there is nothing we can do, at least let us put a stamp on the conference and show our strength. We could have more weight in conference realignment, give CS a place for SEC offices, many ideas

Never back down from a fight. I say BRING it !!!

Ever?

The bottom line is that t.u. has never been and never will be a "team" player. The SEC is about unity and t.u. will never fit in.

They need to control everything and for t.u. to be accepted into the SEC, they must abide by the rules of the SEC and I do not see t.u. doing it.

That's what I am saying. I don't care if the Big10 can say they make more money from their TV contract than the SEC if the SEC puts a beating on the Big10 every time they meet on the field. Whoever wins the games is the strongest, even if the loser is wearing gold plated cleats.

Username should be aggiedruggie with a take like that

Let's be bigger than a petty rivalry. We either can compete or we can't. Let's grow a pair.
Otherwise it looks like the Big 12 is going to have an opening if we don't want to play against TU. Are we really a bunch i of whining chicken****s? Really? What does it mean to be an Aggie????
