You seem like the most rational of your cohort, so I'll reply to your post.
Imagine any scenario you like, but this is the truth: Just like every other conference, behind the scenes at the very top of the conference leadership, are the actual decision makers and power brokers. Now stay with me here ... if If IF those people wanted a team in the conference, then that is what would happen. Pressure would be brought to bear on any dissenters and, in the end, the dissenters would relent and the power brokers would get their way.
The giggling aggy retards above me notwithstanding, I can't for the life of me understand why any of you would think it arrogant to point out that simple, irrefutable truth.

PAC12 - You flirted with them before and expected the rest of the conference to jump on board. Look how that worked out. Well I hope it works out for ya'll in 2025 or whenever the current TV contract expires. Perfect fit - liberal elitists - the Cal Berkley of Texas. Will love watching those 11pm central time kickoffs.

It worked out perfectly. I don't want any part of PAC membership. A thousand thank yous to you guys for blowing that up.

You are under the mistaken impression that one school's leadership (or one STATE'S leadership in the case of the ACC and PAC 12) carries more weight than the others in the SEC.
The school with the most pull in the SEC, Florida is one of the "1-state, 1-school" members. They're the ones who sponsored our membership.
In the scenario you are trying to peddle, the dissenters still outnumber the ones who might vote yes.

I'm not peddling a scenario, I'm describing reality.
There are always shot-callers behind the scenes at the top of any organization, and they will always get what they want. Since you mentioned Florida: If the SEC power players decided that they wanted FSU in the conference, and FSU wanted to be in the conference, it would happen. Whether by carrot or stick, they'd start chipping away at that "1-state, 1-school" voting block, pieces of the block would start falling off little bits at a time, and the block would eventually collapse.

Maybe in the 90's when it was initially considered, but there's no way Florida would allow Florida State in now after the shite they pulled in the 90's. The 1 state/1 school block was put in place to ensure that wouldn't happen.
Bottom line is that there's no scenario whatsoever in which the gay cows from Austin have an SEC invite...or as Ketchum likes to say...a "commitable offer".

You have to be one of the most ignorant horns on Shaggy Texas, only a complete moron would believe the nonsense you are spewing

The 3 schools with the most pull in the SEC are (in no particular order)
Alabama
Kentucky
Vanderbilt
Texas A&M may have been sponsored by Florida but behind the scenes the received a big push from the folks in CKY. Both Texas A&M and Missouri had strong enough big animal vet programs that got love from lots of wealthy folks in the horse business who never attended ANY of the 12 SEC schools.
Lots of very well known Texas families have roots in KY / TN and even the new money Texans have strong ties to CKY. You can say differently but you would probably be wrong.
Looks, we get Utx likes pulling the chains on the noobs in College Station but they our our noobs now and Utx is not a member of the SEC club. Utx had the chance about 100 years ago but left to form the SWC. Utx had another chance (like Clemson) in the 90's but passed. SEC only needs 1 school in SC or TX and now they have one.
Probability of Utx in the SECX went way down the day TAMU accepted the invite, same as Taters when they passé and let the Cocks in the door.

While points can be made for Taters and Cows when it comes to real life, Line Beards are in a class by themselves. Thankfully, most of them either do not have a computer or the basic skills to find a site like tRant.

You are 100% peddling a scenario. You don't know frick all about the subject and are just babbling wishful-thinking nonsense.

Without Maechin (sic) and Foley from Florida, A&M is still in the Big 12.

My question for them is why are they here?
Why are they on an LSU/SEC site?
What is the reasoning?

"Ed Orgeron's War Against UT"

Stop making threads involving Texas, and I'll bet Texas fans will post less.

Doesn't explain at all why you're here. That just explains why you post. If you didn't come to an SEC/LSU website, you wouldn't see threads about Texas.

Unless aggy/mizzou/piggy started talking about adding Clempson, Florida State and Georgia Tech to the SEC.
I think at least three other schools would also side with halting expansion.
Give it up, you are not coming to the SEC. Everyone knows who you are and what you stand for.
You still don't get the concept.
Why not go ahead and be an independent and schedule Boise State, Tennessee State etc.
