If that happened, you'd have to move Vandy or someone to the West.


Dream on. Vandy will never play in the West. We are an eastern-oriented School regardless of the fact we lay a little further west than Auburn. All our natural rivals are in the East with the exception of Ole Miss who we play annually anyway.

Fingers crossed

Does your source have any knowledge of them taking Mizzou with them?

arkansas made it to the SECCG in year 4 in the SEC. 2 down, 2 to go, aggy. you're on the clock.


It was an easier SEC back then. Doesn't surprise me that playing a South Carolina team every year pre-Spurrier allowed Arkansas an easy win every season.

Arkansas would immediately be the number 2 program in facilities and number 1 in fan support in the Big Twatever.



And given the weakness in perception of the Big 12 entering the playoff era, Texas would be willing to give Arky a lot to acquire the improvement of the perception "stealing" a SEC team would have on the conference.

You want the Thanksgiving weekend game with Texas every year? Done.

You want your own network and a guarantee you will never play on Texas's network? Done.

You want a free exposure to state of Texas recruits? Done.

You want a division with Texas while OU heads some new Big 12 North? Done.

You want a 25 year or longer GOR? Done.

Arky could immediately jump back to where they were as a SWC program, or maybe even higher will all the concessions. On paper it is a great move for them.

BUT BUT BUT

Thank God our Arky friends are like us Aggies- they don't care about what it says on paper. Which is great as I would hate to lose a new SEC rival.

Texas pulls the ultimate hustle on Arkansas by convincing them to join Big 12 and then joining SEC to fill upig's spot.

Why do I feel like all Auburn fans are Mizzou obsessed?

Spoke to an Arkansas alum who is convinced that Arkansas is leaving the SEC after next year to return to the Big 12. He said this was common knowledge, that ESPN has reported on this and he has sources in the school who confirm this...
I have never heard anything about this from any source and it sounds like complete BS...
My question is...have I missed this story? Has there been speculation, rumors or reports of this pending move?


i've heard similar rumblings. Its really a move to be expected. we fit in much better with the big 12.

What would be hilarious is if Arkansas does this, then OU can come to the SEC!

Arkansas just hasn't been fricked in the arse enough by tu recently. They forget how it felt.
