I know, muh Mormans is too much for the west coast egg heads to overcome despite the fact that BYU has a great football program and an outstanding conference rivalry game.

OU, Okie Light, Tulsa, Kansas, Bill Snyder U, WVU, Marshall, Cincy, East Carolina, App St, Old Dominion, James Madison... all would be worth more to the SEC than Ole Miss.

No it is that fact the BYU besides what they claim is not a great school it is a center for brainwashing more than an actual university

What happens to students who do not conform at BYU is shocking.

Yes, they have a strictly enforced honor code, but so does Cal Berkeley, only for opposite political reasons.

Why do we need to replace them? Just kick out Mizzou and go back to 12 teams. Conference scheduling would be so much easier.

LSU
Miss State
Arkansas
Texas A&M
Alabama
Auburn

Florida
Georgia
Tennessee
Vanderbilt
Kentucky
South Carolina

I have said this before and it comes as a shock to many but Berkeley is not as far left as many believe. The production of nuclear weapons from the university is the reason why the communist movement became Big there. It was a Soviet inspired conspiracy to damage United States capabilities in advancing their nuclear weapons.

At UC Berkeley if a student wants to change the narrative he is able to and will not suffer consequences. If a BYU student in a class in biology attempts to prove evolution to be correct is given a failing and a lot times is pretty much forced out of the university. There are a lot of examples of former BYU students who were punished by questioning their professors.

Back to your original post the PAC 12 will stay at 12 unless UT joins the conference.
PAC 12 and UT is close as a perfect fit as you can get in a way.
There is still some differences as how one views football at a public university but you can't tell me University of Washington doesn't care about football.

No Baylor, Colorado St, Hawaii, San Diego St, BYU and Boise St will ever see the PAC 12

People outside of the PAC 12 footprint may not understand why but once you live out here it is easy to see

UT belongs with Oklahoma and Texas A&M. The PAC 12 isn't adding either of those.

UT doesn't belong with Aggy.

Aggy is the red headed step child of Texas. Aggy is a representative of old Texas. Oil and agriculture.
Since the 1990's the state has diversified.

There a correlation between heavy investment into the economy and good football teams.
For example Florida in the 1980's. The 3 Florida schools became good in football when the economy in Florida grew.
When the state of Texas began to diversify in the 90's UT began to win and win big.

Thing is the areas that Texas wants to grow the economy in comes from California and the Tech sector. Austin has become a little San Jose in regards to the similarities between the Silicon Valley and Austin.

Stanford is the main engine behind the Tech sector and UT is second behind Stanford in micro electronic engineering.

UT will do what is best for Texas and best for the future of Austin and the state.

OU will follow Texas' lead because OU knows without Texas recruits Oklahoma is just another Arkansas

Yet, so much of the traditions of both teams were built from that rivalry. The history of Texas v. Texas A&M and the Red River Shootout shouldn't be so flippantly cast aside. Those games made those schools what they are today. Those games helped to mold the culture of the states of Texas and Oklahoma. To toss that out because you want to be more like Silicon Valley is short-sighted and unnecessary. You don't need to abandon your past to forge a brighter future. If you lose what you are along the way, what you attain becomes worthless and fleeting.

Texas and Texas A&M need to reunite. They should both be in the same conference, whatever conference that is.

OU will be following UT wherever they go. You are missing the point that OU and UT makes the decisions for their states not Aggy nor the SEC.
If Aggy wants to whistle Dixie and look like a football first university more power to them.
The Aggy UT rivarly was built on the fact that A&M was the biggest challenge to UT. When Aggy left the Big XII they left that position as the number 2 university in the state. As of today UT's rivarly with the three other Texas schools is more important.
Aggy is an outlier in Texas football like UTEP now.
UTEP is an isolated west Texas university kinda like how Aggy is an isolated university that represents east Texas or the Deep South behind the Pine Curtain part of Texas.

The rest of Texas on the west side of the Pine Curtain wants to move forward and make the state of Texas as great as it should be. That is not associating with schools in Alabama and Mississippi. That is associating with schools in California and Washington.

Only because both sides are too petty to play each other.

This is laughable. A&M is in the middle of the Texas Triangle just 2 hours from both Houston and Austin. A&M claims 3 national championships to UT's 4, and 18 Conference Titles to UT's 32. Those are respectable numbers. How many of each of those does UTEP have? 0 and 2.

You're an idiot, and I hate that your stupidity is forcing me to White Knight for A&M. It's gay, and I'd like to stop doing so, but your dumbarsery on display is simply too glaring to ignore.

I really do not care about Aggy anymore. UT's biggest rivals are 1. Team SEC West 2. OU and 3. Whoever comes out of the Baylor, Tech and TCU frickfest.
Once Aggy joined your conference and opened the door to Bama at the Sabine River Team SEC West
became are biggest villain.

You going out of your way to bash them suggests that they still are renting more square footage in your noggin' than the combined area of Gorden McKernan billboards along I-10.

I bash the entire collective thought of universities that is known as Team SEC West.

I guess there is some issues there with Team SEC West and the Crimson Tigers are all about to turn on each other

PAC 12 in my opinion but I'm biased being in that footprint geographically.
