re: Best Plan Ever to Maximize SEC $$ in the Future (Realignment/Expansion)

The hell do you think they are trying to keep secret?!?!

I don't know, maybe all their communications and scheming? All of their plans for future projects? All the dirty laundry of infighting hits the airwaves?

If the SEC had it your way it isn't even at 14 right now because the Big 12 sees the SEC coming and sues for interfering before it can invite A&M.

Why are those secrets worth more than adding the new schools?

Because what drives the money right now isn't your fricked up flagship notion, in fact that has 0% to do with the money.

What drives the money is simply having teams in states. For example, having A&M in Texas is worth just as much as having Texas in Texas as far as SEC Network revenue is concerned. The network doesn't need a flapship to get the full rate.

When we look at your plan the SEC gives up ALL its secrecy to add states with VERY few cable subscribers like Oklahoma or West Virginia. That is a bad trade for the SEC.


If you want to really sink your teeth into something realignment related get this:

If A&M takes the SEC offer in the 90's with Arkansas then USC is never in the fricking SEC ever. Without A&M missing that spot your program is some AAC mid major and Clemson dominates your state despite "flagship status."

But go ahead and kick us out because Kenny Trill ruined your best coach ever.
