What are your thoughts on the six expansion teams? We know most would have preferred the SEC stayed at 10 teams, but here we are.

1. Arkansas
2. South Carolina
3. Missouri
4. Texas A&M
5. Oklahoma
6. Texas

They're generally good fits. I really don't know why they brought in Mizzou, it's an outlier geographically and culturally, and doesn't mesh that well with the other SWC/Big 12 additions, either.

They fit better with a Kansas/Nebraska/Iowa grouping. Oklahoma, I guess, is a bit of a bridge to them. I never thought Arkansas was.

Some of the newer additions need to quit chirping so much. You're in, act like you belong.

Because someone convinced SEC brass "media markets" and TV revenue are in the best interest of the conference and its members. Or maybe they convinced themselves. I'm not sure.
