All of their supplied stats are highly suspect.
It's not like they're above gaming the system.

In that case, let's get a bunch of rapist thugs at Tulane and add them instead.

Get rid of Mizzou. Bring in UT

I'm down. How much do we have to pay them?

No, they're ranked #185. They're #138 only among private colleges. Forbes
Edit: It appears that they're #1 right now in rape scandal news stories, though, if that helps your argument at all. No?

OU and OSU kind of tied at the hip through state politics. They go as a pair... wherever they go. Certainly the case as long as T. Boone Pickens is alive.
OU and OSU would be a great fit. I certainly wouldn't object to a visit to Norman every other year.

WVU is the only cultural fit for the SEC in that conference.

At least Tulane is an AAU school with truly strong academics, is an original SEC school, and it means a road trip to New Orleans. Tulane folks are also generally decent folks.
With Baylor you have mediocre academics, a school that belongs in the WAC, a road trip that would make people dream of Starkville, and a terrible fanbase. Baylor folks are a mix of complete dorks who have lived their lives sheltered from the world and the worst hypocrites who will be holier than though at one moment and allow rapes and worse if it will help them win a football game.
I went to the last A&M/Baylor game in Waco when we waxed them and sent RGIII limping off the field. I'm just fine with that being the last time I ever go to that town for any other reason than to drive through it.

All these permutations are meaningless, especially when you talk about academics and culture.
It's simple: Any addition has to bring in more incremental money than it takes out. The ONLY schools/states where this is even remotely possible are NC and VA.
A&M got the golden ticket for the state of Texas. You think Texas subscribers are going to double the money if another Texas school joins? Nope. Think there are enough TV's in OK to justify EITHER Zero U or Okie Lite, much less both? Nope.
Maybe Va Tech and NC State are worth pursuing, but I doubt it. Outside of those, no other school is even worth a second thought.

For some reason I get a kick out of the TAMU/Baylor hate.
TAMU calling TCU "Purple Baylor" is pretty funny.

In 2025 I think we add Kansas and West Virginia.
tu wont lower themselves to the perceived SEC acadmeic standard, so they'll go west to the PAC with OU and OSU.
Tech, Baylor and the rest of the misfit toys will create a decent conference by adding UH, Cincy, BYU, Memphis etc.

Oklahoma and NC State would be the next two teams to get in...

Have you ever been around WVU fans?
That state makes Mississippi look like California. Fans are beyond terrible.
