Not trolling, Potential NO Votes?

Ranking the Potential No Votes and why?
1. Texas A&M - 99% Wants to be the only Texas SEC school.
2. Missouri - __% Left Texas in Big12 for a reason.
3. South Carolina - __% Would they want Clemson in SEC, maybe the align with A&M and vote no as a favor to keep Clemson out in the future?
4. Arkansas - __% not sure about this, they did leave Texas in the SWC but they may want the rivalry back.
5. LSU - __% My thinking is likely a yes, but Horns in the SEC potentially keeps some Texas talent in Texas. Austin would also likely be appealing to pull some Louisiana Talent to their program.
6. UK - __% Same argument as S. Carolina about keeping Louisville out the SEC. But I think UK would welcome UL to the Conference as a partner however UL to the SEC is not realistic under most scenarios.
7. Florida - __% Same argument as S. Carolina if they want to keep FSU. But I don't think they really care.
****Of course money trumps all, so this discussion is probably moot****

I personally vote no
I will make sure my vote gets hand delivered to Birmingham so that the commissioner knows about my personal feelings regarding these moves.

If it comes to a vote, A&M will likely be the only no vote..maybe Mizzou

I would agree, A&M and Mizzou would be the only no's I can see

LSU will vote no, this is not in their best interest long-term at all

Georgia fans just don’t want to lose their free ride to Atlanta almost every year.

What about Arkansas?

Most of those arguments seem to center around ACC schools.
Aren't those already locked in for another decade?
Most likely no would be A&M -- not even sure Mizzou would vote no.

LSU will vote no

Do you really think this is going to come down to a vote?
Sankey is going to get the players in the room and hash it out and sway any dissenters.

Exactly how does adding Texas and Okie bring extra money to all other SEC teams? Okie is a small market split with Okie light, and we already have a big and increasing presence in Texas.
I see adding Tx and Ok teams as reducing $ take for rest of conference. However, if we got UNC and Virginia…huge new add to market footprint.

Definitely no: A&M
Definitely yes: Alabama, Auburn, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Miss St, LSU, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
Maybes: South Carolina, Georgia, Florida
Leaning no: Kentucky, Mizzou
Mizzou is probably still sick of putting up with Texas’s crap. While we know Kentucky really doesn’t want to share a conference with Louisville, and Florida likely doesn’t want to share with Florida St or Miami. I think this vote will come down to how much fear South Carolina and Georgia are opposed to the idea of their ACC in-state rivals coming over.

If we go to 16 teams with the addition of Texas and OU, then Florida, Kentucky, and South Carolina don't have to worry about future expansion.

It's going to be 14-0 yes. This isn't getting leaked about if it wasn't a done deal already.
Sankey is going to dangle more money in front of the possible "no" votes to get them on board.
Would be embarrassing for OU/Texas if this gets voted down.
It's happening.

Your fan base is in second place for biggest melt on here since all this started for some reason

The only schools that would consider voting no IMO (assuming the money is where it needs to be) would be, in this order... A&M, Missouri, and Arkansas. No one else has a real reason to vote no. If the money makes sense, SEC ADs will vote yes
