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.

Is the pact between schools(UF, USCe, uk etc.) to not allow other schools from that state in the SEC, is that real?

If so, then the argument should be over and Texas added to list with FSU, Clemson, Louisville, Ga Tech...

And even though Arky and Mizzou are default flagships with no "other" schools in their state, I' bet they vote to block as well

You do realize that the big 12 shares tier 1 and 2 rights equally? Just like the SEC, and just like the sec, 3rd tier rights remain with the school. The LHN may be an abortion but it does fall in tier 3. So with this abortion of a network does it really matter to any colleges out there?

All this talk of UT wanting to go to the SEC is crazy. Yeah a couple of down years and maybe more to come, who knows. But at the end of the day it's about National Championships.
And in the last 10 years we have played for 2.
I don't think little brother gets one anytime soon. I believe in the likes of LSU, BAMA, Auburn and the rest of the SEC to not let this happen! Little brother is still in texas last time I checked and I'm sure the true south will make sure tamu knows its place in the pecking order.

I do miss the thanksgiving game!
