Do you not understand that UT right now has more power than before A&M left
For this simple fact that UT is pretty much in the driver's seat of controlling all future expansion
They have the pick in what of the four conferences they want to go to
They tip the balance of college football because wherever they go that conference instantly becomes the most powerful conference in the country
Right now the SEC has the most power in college football but a Texas in either of the other three conferences will put them over the SEC

If Texas had not raised their skirts to the PAC twice and gotten blackballed by Stanford it would have been Texas long ago but that boat has sailed and will not return to the dock.
Blackballed by Stanford? I thought that was Baylor that Berkeley and Stanford opposed so vigorously. Do you have any proof of this? Texas and Stanford have played several times over the years in football, and especially baseball.
By the way, Texas turned down the Pac-10, not the other way around. That is revisionist history.
Facts:
The Pac-10 expansion attempt to include Texas was in June 2010.
The Big 12 voted to allow schools to create their own network about that time, which sweetened the pot for Texas to stay in the Big 12.
The contract with ESPN and the Longhorn Network was not signed until Dec. 2010.
The University of Texas was still considering which network to partner with as late as Oct. 2010.

There is not pick. It goes SEC #1 then everyone else. At this point, the SEC is a no go. So you'll have to settle for staying in the shitty Big 12 and like it. Be prepared to make a ton of concessions (no mo network) when it finally implodes and OU leaves your arse in the dust.

Because UT carries more of the state and market there is more demand so ESPN can get the local cable and satellite companies to pay higher fees
Even through the SEC network is in Texas there is not the amount of demand for it by people who purchase these cable and satellite packages
If UT was in the SEC you could control the entire state
Up until this point you just seemed like you were trolling the former SWC members, now you have revealed the fact that it is just pure ignorance.
These deals are done nationally and Texas brings zero extra money to the table, any expansion will be into a state where there is no SEC school.
Ok State and WV bring more to the table than TX in terms of revenue, VA and NC both bring far more, sorry but thems the facts.

Higher Ratings
Purely based on numbers of viewers, that is not true.
Do the math, here's the link from last year:

By the way, you're hemorrhaging season tickets. We'll see how long people are willing to pay high-dollar to get their poop pushed in. Kind of weird for the world's most loyal fanbase, no?
Your SEC bump is quickly disappearing. You still have a bit more money to waste, though.

Do you not understand the SEC has a contract with CBS and ESPN for other broadcast

So you agree that the University of Houston or Texas Tech would've had the same effect, money-wise, as adding Texas A&M. Your brethren protested this while upvoting this same statement.

I can't see your bowl ratings on there for some reason.

For Kentucky
Would you mind Texas joining the ACC
Would probably work except the logistics would be crazy. Texas mentality would fit them better but not sure how Texas will react to not being the top dog, they call it the All Carolina Conference for a reason.

Problem is for this group of four by denying UT they are actually helping our their rival universities if Texas decides to join the ACC
You just are not getting the dynamics of the SEC. Of the P5's the B1G and SEC are most "groupthink" and to not upset this dynamic you need damn near 100% agreement but the SEC separates from the B1G in that they want a real equality of peers when they actually get in the room to vote on issues. While you may just be hearing me say this on how they would vote on Texas you are missing that it applies to issues across the board.
When Texas left the SIAA and took TAMU they wanted control and wanted Ole Miss and LSU to go with them but Ole Miss and LSU did not want that dynamic. It is amazing how 100 years later the same thinking still is in the decision rooms today on the conference really moving as a single entity. Not sure the leadership of texas will ever fully understand or appreciate this.
In the ACC they are full of egos so Texas will feel more at home, the issue is the bridge the ACC would have to build between the two. I think Line Beards are the closest ACC school to Austin, and rumor in the CAF it was Texas that blackballed their move to the B12 in 2010. Jurich may be appeased by money but some of his big donors may not be so easily swayed.
BTW, you in Austin and are you going to Willie in a few weeks?

Just proves pretty much my conclusion of the educational system in Mississippi
People there can't not figure out the truth for themselves
They read an article used to manipulate and believe it to be true

We increased our capacity by 20k and still average a near sell out.
I saw tu tickets on groupon.
Keep trying.

Definitely not Ole Miss or State. Not enough meaningful history.
Alabama has played Mississippi State more than any SEC foe. They're the two closest SEC programs to one another.

It really is simple, if and when schools are added they will be ones that increase revenue for all current members.
Adding Texas would COST each SEC school millions, aint happening.

Oh I agree, 100%.
Their pride won't let them accept the simple truth. It is down right funny at this point.
