Jesus Christ. Listen dumbass. Is this a thread about moving the CG or is this a thread about Conference Expansion?
The two cannot be logically separated; the conference as it is, and the conference as it will be are two very different things.

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.
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.

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.
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.

For the purpose of this futile argument, I have been counting them as a member of the SEC.

No, I get your point. I'm telling you it is wrong.

Exactly. I get that. What I am trying to tell you is that Texas, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma will not be in the SEC. They won't come; the SEC doesn't want them. Argue the point all you want, it is true. So then my question is why move the conference game all the way to Texas just for aTm viewers?

So let me get this straight... You think there are a lot of fans in the state of Texas that aren't fans of any school in Texas but would like college football enough to watch the SEC Championship? 
Keep dreaming Arky fan.
