Opinion wanted on expansion

There is an ongoing discussion on the Texas sites that they need to join the SEC, because they see what is happening with A&M. I'd like the SEC school opinions here - NO A&M FANS. Our opinion is obvious.
My opinion is that A&M already served up Texas, and the sips bring more trouble than they are worth (A&M fan opinion). I think NC and VA are the eventual targets.

No. NO. Texass has ruined every conference they've been a part of. No.
I would've been perfectly happy in the Big 8 forever. Mizzou, nubraska, kansass, colorado, oklahoma, etc. It was all fine until the 4 texas schools came along and ruined it for the original founders (no offense aggie...mostly UT's fault).

We don't need Texas. They can take their TV deal and shove it right up their arse. Their fans would be the most annoying people on the planet.

I wouldn't say they are more trouble than they are worth, but there is no reason to add another Texas team, just like there is no reason to add another Florida team or another South Carolina team. Expansion is about expanding your footprint so you can make more money on your schools network. Texas doesn't help in that regard.
That said Texas is one of the few big fish out there that could be gotten, so I think you have to at least look at it from a national perspective. Living in Austin I don't think they are a fit in the SEC the way way A&M is at all.
I don't buy the whole "they will ruin the SEC" talk as this would be a whole different animal and Texas simply would not be in the position to behave in the SEC the way they have in the past.

Add them, along with FSU. The conference would then have both flagship state universities of the two best football states in the country.
Gotta do something about moving Mizzou to the West though.

Not until they get rid of their current AD, and change their fart sniffing attitude. So in other words, never and no thanks.

You think they'd join the Pac12? I hope so.

No reason if it doesn't bring a new tv market.

Hell no. Those whiny pansies already destroyed one league. They can whither and die on their own vine.

They don't bring any new tv market share. So no. We would be better fit picking up Oklahoma, a NC or VA school.

So we wouldn't want the #1 most valuable team in College Football in the SEC?

more than that actually

No thanks. They made that shitty conference into what it is and they can stay there.

Don't want them. UNC-Duke or VT-NCST so Mizzou can move to the west.

Well there you go.

No brainer, yes. They are the richest program in the country. Any conference would be dumb to turn them down.
Posted on 2/7/13 at 7:49 pm to ColoradoAg
Send Mizzou to the B1G where they wanted anyhow. Add Clemson/FSU to the East and Texas to the West.

The reality is if UTx wants in, they're in. No opinions are needed.
