Roy Kramer (rip) was a leader. Slive was a manager. And, Sankey’s a puppet.

I mean, if he cared about academics, he would probably keep Missouri.

Mizzou is ranked 7th out of the 16 SEC schools by US News and it is one of six AAU schools in the SEC.

He’s just doing his job.

His job is the problem. CFB is running very fast to collective bargaining

Uga Alum roots for the best team in the SEC and still melts all over this board on a daily basis. Sad.

Sankey is an employee who does what the institutions tell him to do.


So many people don't understand this.

Sankey cares about money, brands, academic prestige, and long-term viability. This means that he would eliminate all schools from the state of Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri. He would also replace Cocky with Clemson.


So you want to destroy the strongest overall athletic conference in America for one sport because that’s the only sport your school doesn’t suck at? Maybe your school should get better at other sports or get out.

Then we’ll move to the most stable option. It’s what we do.

I think there are only 5 Association of American Universities schools in the SEC...
Florida
Missouri
Texas
Texas A&M
Vanderbilt

Regarding the original posters point about money... Missouri is home to the 24th (StL) and 32nd (KC) media markets in the country. (this might differ a bit depending on source/timeframe studied). I feel like this was the biggest factor in inviting Mizzou to come along with A&M.
