You're right. But someone mentioned 5 losing seasons in 20 years. You can't argue one and not mention the other. And I'm not arguing for them taking more profits. That's bull***** My argument started with comment about us throwing our "weight" around.

Better thing to state than losing seasons is they were totally irrelevant for over a decade. Now the last two seasons they have won a lot of games but only one of those were to a really good team. It is what it is.

Their SEC schedule will get harder and they will not win as many next year. They messed up not taking advantage of all their gifts this year.

You ain't wrong.

you knew this was coming at some point

Go to the big10 and offer a deal: you can have as the dole team from Texas in your league, but in exchange we want top tier money

I realize football would drive these negotiations but we need to throw our weight around more. We are one of the top 10 richest universities public or private in the country. We have more money than Michigan and the California University system. We are top 5 in largest alumni base.

Alabama is a middle school compared to us. We need to start acting like it.

What weight? A&M may have more alumni and more money, but Alabama's athletic program makes more than ours. They also have clout, which is brought by championships. The conference doesn't give a **** how much money a school has. It cares about how much money the school can make the conference. More people tune in to texas, Alabama, Georgia, etc, than to A&M.

Here's another one of these guys. Why do we have so many of these guys?

Well, the user name checks out...

B10 predicted to have a major college from Texas join them by 2030. Maybe they know something.

So why aren't we out there demanding our own? We sit here and ***** and moan about tu ( or other rivals ) yet do nothing about it. For crying out loud they poached our baseball coach and did we even remotely try and do something to return the favor? That's the problem with 'the culture' - it's not the yell leaders or midnight yell or any of that stuff. It's the constant beta male complex when push comes to shove.
