State adds basically no market OM does not already cover and is a shitty place for visiting fans to visit. Ole Miss adds the Jackson and Memphis market, and is a top 10 national road trip for fans of college football. OM could be very successful with the whole state of MS to itself.
And MSU would likely belong in the AAC. The Big 12 might pick them up but huge maybe.
Engie paging Engie. I'll let you handle this clueless idiot.

Think of it like this: If OM were kicked out, they would definitely have a Big 12 and likely ACC, maybe even Big 10 invite the same day. If MSU were kicked out, they are probably going AAC and begging the Big 12 for a spot.

Why? He's absolutely right.
Nobody in the history of the universe with any sense has ever held the view that your bombed out soviet city held a candle to Oxford.
The Grove draws people from around the country. I had fricking Cougs fans in Seattle asking about it and talking about planning a trip.
Starkville is the most appropriately named city ever.

No you couldn't. Again, length of membership meNs nothing. We are talking value here and both Miss schools obviously bring nothing to the league. In fact, kicking both out and getting to 12 members would be a huge financial gain for the conference. Either that or Miss St and Vandy. Take your pick, it doesn't matter.

Mizzou fans really have a hugely inflated sense of worth here.

No one cares about you Yankee pussies. Only reason you got in the SEC is St. Louis.

Mizzou is the first to go for sure. Has anyone been to Columbia, MO?

Not likely, but it's 2 hours from St Louis and Kansas City which is all that matters.

You sure?
To OP, solid off-season work.

Neither, only way either is out is if they go on their own. Sewanee did it when they just could not keep up. Georgia Tech and Tulane left and have regretted it ever since. Only a dumbass with no sense of history would be in favor of kicking either out. leave that kicking folks out to the likes of those damned west coast folks who got rid of Idaho and Montana because they would not cheat like the other PCC schools. They invited all the cheaters back when they formed the PAC but left the clean programs to rot behind.
Screw the PAC, long live the SEC!

Don't know why Vandy is being brought up in this conversation. With an excellent baseball team to go along with good basketball tradition and two back to back 9-4 football seasons, not to mention a Nationally recognized academic institution, we definitely add more than most. It was Vandy that first played football among SEC schools (since 1890), and the first Southern football conference was born at Vandy (the old Southern Intercollegiate Conference). And of course we bring a large measure of the Nashville market.
Let the Yankees be the first to exit. Then the non charters. Then start eliminating by age of football program.

I can see that. Arkansas is really more of a Midwest type of place anyway. Not a slam on them, just the sense I've gotten when I've been there. USCe always felt like an ACC team to me (and they were, right?) so I guess TAMU would hang on the longest even though -- and Southerners and Texans would both agree -- Texas is not "the South" no matter how hard Yankees try to claim it is.
80% of the state of Arkansas is south of Memphis and half is in the Delta.
You do realize the Old South is dying if you like it or not, right?

All those ducks flying north for the winter land right into our hunting grounds.

While Vanderbilt is the mother of the SEC via it's role in the SIAA, Kentucky was the first school in the current and former SEC member roster to play the sport. The Wildcats played their first football season in 1881 and went 1-2 that season. This was a good decade before most every other school in the current and former SEC.

Unlike 4 other teams here, MSU and OM are charter members in the league. This would never happen. Thanks
