what makes everyone think Texas would have the capacity to destroy the SEC? They've destroyed other conferences with the permission of the rest of those conferences because they were filled with pussies who gave them whatever they wanted because they couldn't survive without them. Texas would only get one vote in the SEC and wouldn't be able to strong arm the rest of the schools because we don't need them.
If Texas came to the SEC, it would be because they had decided they were better off playing by the SEC's rules and being nationally relevant again than they are ruling their own little irrelevant fiefdom. That would mean no LHN/other bullshite. If that were the case, I'd have no problem with them coming aboard. In fact, it would be fricking awesome.

What is aggy's all time record against "little brother" again?
Off top of my head, UT leads by a pretty big margin.
Over the last 50 years, it is about .500
Of course UT's all time record vs Bama is something like 7-1. Not sure what all time records actually mean.
I guess if you are that concerned about shite that happened before WWI then it may be relevant.

Exactly.
Or frick, look at OU. Way more actual winning tradition than Texas (or A&M whatever) but it was very much embarrassed last round of realignment. Their president declares they "won't be a wallflower" only to have Texas turn them into a wallflower.
Alabama wins football national titles. Texas wins conference ruin national titles.

Won't happen, Killz. For many reasons. Texas adds nothing but headaches to the SEC at this point.
The conference already has the Texas market with A&M, and they're stronger than UT now.
They would have to give up the LHN, and ESPN might have something to say about that.
Their reputation precedes them - everyone knows they're arrogant douche canoes to deal with, and have managed to kill 2 conferences in the past 20 years.
And finally, my understanding is that if 2 current SEC universities oppose admittance by a candidate, they don't get in. I can't imagine that A&M or Mizzou would support their joining the conference. Which is the ultimate in poetic justice and karma biting them in the arse if you think about it.

In studying orangebloods.com, it's obvious Texas is beginning to notice the positive effects experienced by A&M after joining the SEC. Example: Over the past year Texas raised $400 million while A&M raised $740 million.
A&M is constantly in the news, mainly due to their successes. Texas? Not so much. Paranoia is starting to reign supreme in Austin.
Officially, the SEC does not invite anyone. Rather, the conference presidents review applications to join. It's still difficult imagining the TU elite deigning to apply for membership in a "conference of academic skanks," as they refer to us.
It's even harder to envision SEC presidents considering membership for an institution with such a JAP* reputation.

it's rather amusing that Tulane (which is about as JAPpy as you can get these days) was a charter member of the SEC, wonder if they regret leaving and the amount of money they're passing up...

Apples to Oranges
Nebraska was only 1
SEC has "the six"
It is not that Texas can tell Alabama what to do, it is that they have to tell Alabama, LSU, Auburn, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida as well. The SEC is strength in numbers so no individual school becomes Texas on one side and Alabama on the other side.

I said something yeterday in Saban to Texas thread: If Saban were to go to Texas, how long before he would be politicking to get UT in the SEC?

Before or after Saban gets there?

This needs to be distinguished. A&M is hot right now but chances are they won't stay there and Texas won't stay down.

Which is why they wouldn't want to come. Texas' arrogance won't allow them to be equals with ANYONE, much less Vanderbilt and Mississippi State.

Texas arrogance is well said. and that to that SEC arrogance and we don't need them. Bama will not allow another top dog in.

But the other teams don't need the Texas team to be great, just...there and with a large fanbase. All they're really after is the market and the recruits, not another perennial power. If they were after the latter, they never would have added USCe or Missouri.

Hadn't thought about that angle yet. If they were to try to get in I think we'd see:
NO from Texas A&M for obvious reasons.
NO from Mizzou for the same reasons.
NO from Arky because the older ones know what a cancer the Horns are.
We form a pact with Florida, USCe, and Kentucky to never let Florida State, Clemson, or Louisville in. I'm sure that we could scare up another NO vote from someone else.

no. They would demand that they run the show, and Homey don't play dat.

This.
We got a front row seat for UT's destruction of the SWC, the college football world bore witness to their destruction of the Big 12, and A&M had a front row seat to both.
Both Arkansas and aTm would fight this to the death.
Like someone else said, SEC got what they wanted with A&M -- vital TV marketshare in Texas with none of the bullshyt that comes from dealing with UT.

Actually Vandy is one of the few they might consider their equal. We are an AAU school and they consider their academics(although it is not) on par with ours.
