Did anyone besides Texags know about this gentleman's agreement?

---

Long time Arkansas sports writer Wally hall know about it:

Quote:

---

"There is an unwritten gentleman's agreement among the 14 current SEC members that no additions can be made from a state that already has an SEC school," Hall writes.

That was my point. For 10 years Texags kept flexing that we could veto any other Texas team. Joke was on us.

---

It's hard to veto it when they deliberately kept us in the dark until the press leaked it. As for being a bunch of women, I guess grabbing a jar of Vaseline and rolling on over is more manly in the eyes of some posters.

---

Don't forget about not getting paid more to just take it, too.

What ever makes you happy buddy. My point is we b@tch about a gentlemen's agreement and have no earthly idea if it ever existed or in what context. If you think that agreement regardless of form was ever gonna last versus the almighty dollar you are a fool.

For the last time, we voted to let them in!

So you agree there was no agreement.

---

I don't know if there was an agreement. But deliberately keeping A&M out of the discussion was a terrible way to treat a supposed equal member of the organization. If you can't be pissed about that behavior I don't know what to tell you.

Well... We could have. We just didn't because we left our balls in Austin.

F the SEC.

Everyone knows that but it's beside the point. I doubt you would feel very good about a situation where, as a board member, everyone knew an action would be detrimental to one of your initiatives that had brought significant value to the organization. So they deliberately pursue the action while keeping you in the dark and cut a deal. When it's time for the vote, your vote is meaningless because all the other board members have been persuaded without any of your input. So you're encouraged to vote yes to show a unified front to the shareholders. We probably would have been justified to vote no and leave the SEC but they knew we wouldn't because of the pay. But it was pure BS to treat a member that way and it pretty much confirms that we were used to get a better tv deals and once tu insured that wouldn't be eroded, they didn't give a **** what A&M thought.

The SEC is the best place for us… and also screw the SEC and just win. These things are not mutually exclusive.

Some of us knew in 2012 that the Horns would ultimately have to join the SEC and would be able to push their way in. Even without a Greg Snakey.

Back to the OP... I'm going to be a big FSU fan Sunday night.

Every year we choose an away game and that one was last years... I actually feared for our life...

Rooting for the SEC was always stupid but should be inconceivable now after how they treated you. I hate the SEC for all of the leg humping and can only imagine that intensifies when we are in it. The shared accomplishment mentality is mind boggling.

---

But you'll gladly take your share of the conference revenue. Won't you sip?

Yeah after running your mouths about how the SEC was a bunch of slack jawed rednecks and a white trash conference, failing to get into the Pac-12 bc we bolted, and then becoming an also-ran in the Big 12.

I can't wait for the weekly assaults they will receive next year.
