Auburn is a Big-6 money-maker, historically.

Why do we cater to the SEC headquarters each year when it comes to regional alignment?
We gave up Georgia Tech, Tennessee and Florida each year to satisfy expansion in 1992. That was not great, but ok with the addition of Arkansas and South Carolina.
Why push things further with adding Missouri to the East and promising to "fix" things later?
Auburn belongs in the East in this current scenario.
We don't ever "need" to play in the Iron Bowl either. Talk about a media-fed yearly game. There is a reason that that game wasn't even on the radar for over 40 years.

Auburn has to make the money to pay the players. Auburn really should be in the east.

A founding Big-6 member should have some say in further expansion going forward.
When do you ever hear about Alabama, Florida, UGA, or Tennessee having to "switch" sides in this dilemma?
Auburn has more than paid its due in this regard for over two expansions.
I think that we should do what is best for our University going forward.

Congrats on massively underachieving then?

Take Bama with you to the East.

South Carolina and Arkansas ruined Georgia Tech, Florida and Tennessee for us.
Now, Missouri is in the SEC East and...we have to travel over 900 miles to Texas to play A&M for various sports.
What is logical about this?
Auburn is an Atlanta suburb by student population.

Actually we kept playing Florida annually through 2002. Everybody had 2 permanent cross-division rivals until then.
But yeah, point still stands. It's a shame we don't have those historic annual rivals anymore. frick playing Ole Miss and Arkansad every year.

Because the two SEC programs that originally put Southern football on the map, Tennessee and Alabama, will not give up a series that has been played annually for a century.

False.
Auburn and UGA created the SEC.
We decided to play in Atlanta on a cold February morning in 1892.
Auburn was just an fledgling Methodist College and UGA was a small State Institution with a Royal Charter from England.
The point is, Auburn and UGA have been here from the start.
Move us to the East and figure things out in an appropriate manner.
Remember History.

Auburn and Tech stopped playing annually in '87 several years before expansion.

Well we did play you in Jerdin Hair two years in a row. You remember? Pepperidge farm remembers...
Oh, and we agreed to move the game because you're tired of getting that arse beat two weeks before the Iron bowl.

Screw the Aubbies.
We gave up a home game to you to get things "right" with the SEC schedule and our pussy AD gave into your whiny demands and moved our game to earlier in the season.
Nobody plays the perpetual victim role better than Auburn.

You make a very good point.

Child, the SEC was founded in the early thirties. By that time Alabama had gone to the Rose Bowl 3 times.

And Auburn struggled those 40 years. Auburn needs to play Alabama to stay relevant. Without the Alabama game, Auburn does not sell out its stadium.

Sounds good, let them move East.

Ask your AD to put it to a vote.

No one from this board can help Auburn, go to the man that can make a change.

At the end of the day, you are not BAMA and you are not VOLS, you have no influence on the schedule
