First, Texas A&M does offer a unique environment that no other university in the country can provide. I've been to College Station twice to see LSU play the Aggies. First, the town is downright abysmal. It makes Starkville look like Shangri la. Seriously. The game atmosphere is good though. Their tailgating is very, very watered down and lame by SEC standards. Anyways, if we ever do those UT rejects a favor and let them in our conference so we can all kick their arse unmercifully, yes even you Vandy can get in on this, I will not be making the trip to College Station. It's a been there once, been a thousand times type of thing...

Anyways, here is the distance to College Station for all SEC schools.

Fayettville to College Station - 519 miles (8 hours 30 minutes)
Baton Rouge to College Station - 363 miles (6 hours)
Starkville to College Station - 608 miles (10 hours)
Oxford to College Station - 656 miles (10 hours 20 minutes)
Tuscaloosa to College Station - 665 miles (10 hours 30 minutes)
Auburn to College Station - 780 miles (12 hours 12 minutes)
Athens to College Station - 933 miles (15 hours)
Gainsville to College Station - 954 miles (15 hours)
Columbia to College Station - 1075 miles (17 hours)
Nashville to College Station - 782 miles (12 hours and 36 minutes)
Knoxville to College Station - 975 miles (15 hours and 15 minutes)
Lexington to College Station -992 miles (16 hours)

Whew....that's a lotta driving.

I'm glad we always play them in Dallas.

Sounds like the SEC needs to start an airline that operates on game weekends.

The tv money is where its at, so I doubt that the driving distance for the approximately 10K fans from each school who travel to road games is a concern to any of the SEC brass.

Question on the tv contract, if the SEC expands, does it reopen the tv deal for renegotiation?

I don't think Vandy would get in on beating aTm. I do think though that aTm would be the new Kentucky of football in the conference.
