The SEC:
1. Gave us a life line from the most dysfunctional organization in sports.
2. Basically tripled our tier 3 $ in 3 years.
3. Opened up an opportunity to recruit the richest collection of college athletes.
4. Gives us a great sales pitch to The rest of the Midwest.
5. Has forced our university to raise its $ commitment level to football.
So yes, though a few of your fan bases strike us as borderline insane, we will forever be grateful to be in the best conference in the nation.

You don't know how happy we are to be here also. I was a Senior when the SWC imploded and there were very strong rumors that LSU had sponsored us to go to the SEC. Our campus would have erupted had that happened. Instead, it was a major let down when we ended up being the 12th school to be on board for the XII. It was a shotgun marriage. We never fit in culturally with those Yankee (yes, you Missouri) schools in the old Big 8 and had very little history playing any of them on a regular basis. Not at all like we had with LSU and Arkansas.
When we finally were able to join the SEC, it felt like we finally came home. And I'm proud to say that my daughter will never know a time when A&M wasn't in the SEC, even if it means not playing tu anymore.

It did the opposite for us. It made us want to give. For the longest time we didn't think the AD took anything seriously but the Texas rivalry. The firing of Fran plus the SEC move proved us wrong. We were happy to be wrong, because that meant we could have hope.
