There's no need to bring a school like Texas into the SEC at this point. Especially considering their TV network and the way it would work monetarily. I would much rather have Florida State, Virginia Tech, Duke, UNC, Clemson, or NC State.
And I don't see what joining the SEC had to do with A&M's success this year. They had the heisman-winning QB. If Texas had finished the year with 1 loss they would have still been ranked higher than A&M.

Texas has this entitled attitude without having the hardware in the trophy case to back it up. I think they would only cause trouble and division in the SEC.
Having their own TV Network and not sharing profits evenly in the Big 12 just does not sit right with me. I have enjoyed watching A&M out recruit them in their own backyard.
I really don't think Texas could be a member of the SEC without trying to make a power play to dominate the conference. Their ego is way to big to sit at the table with the other SEC schools and only have one vote.

If we're going with 4-team pods, I'd pick OU and KU for a nice geographical fit. If we're sticking with divisions, take UNC and UVA and move Mizzou west. Yes, I know every team I listed has baggage teams, which I didn't include, but there's no need to rush expansion. There are only a few spots left and there's some permanence, so get it makes sense to take only the most valuable additions. These teams may not be willing to leave in the next few years, but big money's coming, and it could motivate these schools to sever ties in the face of opposition.

Exactly. If we went 6-7 like most predicted, there would be not a single Texas fan talking about the SEC.
