Wrong. Florida State. Georgia Tech. Clemson. All would work.


Work as well as LSU?

If it's just bottom line driven, Vandy would've been canned long ago.

And until your BFF Sankey betrayed Aggie, the unwritten rule was another n-state school would not be added without the current member's blessing.

So you think UF's ok with adding FSU, etc?

Why can’t the 5 away games still happen? Just consider them non conference games.

They could but I’m not sure the SEC will want LSU anywhere near conference members who could potentially lose a game, hurting their playoff chances.

If you think otherwise, you don't understand the process.

At worse the SEC would just have the same contract minus the LSU portion. Similar to when adding Oklahoma and Texas.

But if the contract has to be redone completely, it will be an increase in pay for all teams.

Cool - Texas is a MUCH bigger market than Louisiana State and the contract was signed prior to Texas and Oklahoma joining. We'll get even more money!

The contract states that if there is any change in membership the $3 billion dollar contract has to be ended. Done.


Are you all really this fricking stupid or do you just say this stupid shite to make each other feel better.

We are under the 2020 media contract. Texas and Oklahoma, both bringing more viewers than LSU were added after that deal was signed.

Disney would have no want to renegotiate that deal and pay for what they’ve received for free to this point, the viewership of Texas and Oklahoma fan bases.

The loss of LSU doesn’t negate the two wins and higher viewership from Texas and Oklahoma.

You do understand the overall can drop while the schools still get more right?

Which is all anyone really cares about.

It’s not a coincidence the expulsion talk when from 100 to 0 real quick.


The ones who said expulsion were quietly pulled aside and reminded that they were not hired to interfere with sports revenue, only academics and image.

I’m sure Georgia’s AG got a talking to from the Georgia Republican Party.

The southern schools will stick together.

Stop saying Alabama and Auburn. Those will be our strongest allies in this. Nick Saban has probably already spoken privately to everyone important in that state.

Athletic Directors need to be in charge of this.

The last thing Disney/ESPN want to do is re-open the contract.

The Aggies should have no say so in the negotiations until they actually contribute something to conference prestige. It's been 14 years and we're still waiting.

The SEC Network went forward based upon A&M joining the league. That was clearly stated by Slive.

If Kiffin had a more impressive resume as a head coach he would be able to stand up to the pressure of ABC/ESPN, The SEC and the rest of college football. He doesn't and he won't. At some point he is going to be told by LSU to accept a slap on the wrist and move the frick on. It is doubtful he will refuse and almost a certainty he won't be able to simply move on and not act like he has for the entirety of his career. The leash will get shorter and shorter...unless of course he wins the conference a couple of times and throws in a natty or 2 then he will have some leverage....he has none as it is, hell Brian Kelly has a better resume as a head football coach.....
