The eyeballs will still be in Texas-- it's not an accident the league leadership is forward looking.


Jesus Christ. Listen dumbass. Is this a thread about moving the CG or is this a thread about Conference Expansion? Seems to me it's about Conference Expansion. If that is the case, let me tell you that they are currently locked into Atlanta so by the time they were able to move the game, the big bad Texas schools that are so important to the SEC will already be in another conference. And it will not be the SEC.

I'm all for rotating the venue; I don't give a shite where they play it. However, if you think they are going to move the game to impress some schools, then you are an idiot.

The two cannot be logically separated; the conference as it is, and the conference as it will be are two very different things.

Texas A&M isn't going to be going anywhere else. They've pretty well cut off their other options, at least in the short and intermediate terms.

As usual, the point flies waaaay over your head.

This is about eyeballs and television sets first and foremost, not about schools. This is about the growth of the product, not maintaining a 'venerable' 20 year old tradition with less traction than the McRib.
