re: I'd rather have UVA/UNC than OU/TX.

So what your alluding to is that OK and TX have poor academic standards, weak alumni, and aren’t well connected…interesting point of view. If the SEC really wanted to raise its academic standards, sans football, then it would dump Kentucky, Alabama, LSU, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Miss State, add OK & TX, and go after UVA, UNC, Georgia Tech, and Duke.

To be honest, TX does have all of those things in abundance, but also a frick ton of baggage. We're talking about expanding the conference. Emphasis on expanding. Why not go after new markets and improve the conference. Ultimately, if TX/OU join, it is what it is. Texas and its higher ups have psychopathic levels of greed, which is why I don't want them. As for athletics, we'll probably be better than them, but its all about the $$$.
