Texas is sneaky backstabbing conniving s***, and they have mountains of money and political influence. OU will do whatever longhorns say. And when it benefits them Aggies will go along.
Get ready for the SEC offices to leave Bama to "be more centrally located". Get ready for the flow of good recruits from Texas to be severely restricted.
Bama doesn't know it yet, but they will be big losers in the long run and will regret letting this shite go down.
When Texas was in the SWC, they looked across the table and they were the Big Boy in the room. When they jumped to the Big8 and destroyed the old SWC, they had OU who could look them eye to eye.
In the SEC, there is Florida, UGA, BAMA, LSU, Auburn, TENN who have tons of money that are all charter members of the league. So if Texas starts thinking they run things, they have 6 other schools that are going to look them eye to eye and now OU in the room and you as well Aggie.
Don't forget UK is among the top 20 Revenue producers in athletics as well.
Of the top 20, 10 are currently in the SEC, 8 I named, I think the other 2 are Arkansas and South Carolina.
I think OU is currently 8th.

This is ignorant. I hate Alabama as much as the next person, but they don’t lord it over anyone and overall, they are good business partners. The fact that they are Goliath and we struggle to beat them makes me hate them, yes, but I also respect them. I think most of the SEC does too. And that won’t change if Texas and their annual 7-5 in the Big12 comes into the SEC.

Lol. You're a damn fool if you think Texas is going to come into the sec and try to throw their weight around. They're fricking with big time programs in the sec that don't give a shite that their name is Texas. They have a huge reality check coming if they get into the league.

There is no reality check coming.. With the exception of Nebraska who was pissed off about losing their partial qualifiers, the rest of the schools left to get away from Big Bad Texas. Texas may have pushed those other schools around.. but guess what.. that only happens if the other team can’t stand on their own. Texas is very aware that the SEC has a lot of big swinging dicks.. Texas isn’t going to come in and try to throw their weight around. This will be a good match and you will see that we can be a good partner..
If Texas did do that, the rest of the teams would just tell us to go frick ourselves.
Here is a perfect example. I was reading a Baylor board earlier today.. and a poster had the idea to give Texas & OU $75 million per year to stay in the Big 12.. and they would all share the rest. If we were to accept a deal like that, it would later just get turner around on us.. look at Big Bad Texas.. unequal revenue sharing.. blah blah blah. If those other teams in the SWC and Big 12 could stand on their own.. none of this is would be happening.

Nebraska's demise had very little to do with Texas although Texas gets the majority of the blame.
i mean losing to Texas nearly every time they played them in Football didn't help, but Nebraska's demise was more due to a changing college football landscape and rule changes when they joined the Big 12.

LOL! Yeah, only Texas, not the rest of the teams that voted for the rules when the original BIG 12 formed. Not the NCAA'S fault either for trying to regulate College Football and not allow partial qualifiers and dudes that liked to beat on their girlfriends to play.

I have a couple of issues with your OP.
Aggies don’t want Texas to join but if they do and start causing trouble A&M will side with them? Is that what you are saying here?
My second thought on that is that I think it is rather funny that Texas, A&M and OU have cratered 3 conferences but we should be afraid you will get together and take over the SEC? Am I reading this right?
Also I sure do appreciate you being so humble. Ffs
You are funny as shite.

NU relied on recruits from across the country, Alabama just goes out 500 miles radius.

There will be, but Bama will be fine. The recruiting area will stay the same. The only way to really change that is for people to move out of the south.
Before you say "but Texas has the same", the State of Texas has won 1 NC in the last 50 years, just look at how many the State of Alabama has won

They’ll learn their place soon enough in the conference. They’ll get in line and play the game like everyone else, or they’ll have a damn hard time getting by every year. You think the back room shite is bad in Texas? Maybe. But they’re walking into someone else’s party, and a whole conference of Good Ole Boy’s that are used to playing their own game could make that situation very uncomfortable if they choose
You hit the nail on the head. Texas is in Texas, there is no way they could control Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, et al.. If they even tried, they would be laughed out of the room.
You think Florida is going to pay attention to what Texas says about their program? Alabama? Auburn? Georgia?
Sure Texas could throw a lot of money around, but the teams in the SEC are not poor.
9 of the top 20 in revenue generating schools are in the SEC. 2 of the top 20 are in the Big 12 (next Big 12 team is 28th)

Finally, perhaps Texas could throw a lot of money at the SEC and have the offices moved to Dallas (I highly doubt that would happen, but they could try.) It would not matter, the SEC schools are one school, one vote.

Bphan - I don’t know about that. The OP has a point. First point Texas literally think they are Gods, and Gods own and control everything. And another factor, this God has all the money!
So do you actually think the assholes at Texas are going to play second fiddle to the Gumps in the long run???? lol, you don’t know Texans well if you think otherwise!
Texas will immediately try and move the SEC game to Jerry’s World and Jerry Jones will do whatever it takes to make that happen!
And understand he is correct about one thing, at the end of the day Texans stick together and fight together, when they ain’t fighting themselves.
So if Texas has the opportunity to put a squeeze play on, the OP is correct A&M, UT & OU will all stick together to screw Bama, and guess who will join that group? You can bet LSU and Arky will join them and probably Mizzou.
I personally think the OP is right, Bama days of running the show are starting to come to an end. It will take 5 to 10 years, but at the end of the day what I have always found true in business is “money talks and bullshite walks”
Bama you don’t have the pockets of UT which in the end will be the difference
And for those altruistic mfers that actually think this is not about money! Wake up snowflake, in business, and this is HUGE business, it always comes down to money!

Did the SEC game move out of Birmingham to Atlanta? Does the SEC basketball tourney play in Birmingham? I think you over estimate Alabama. Alabama is great at football, good at basketball and baseball.
While Texas and OU have money, they are limited to how they can spend it.
Texas will not be running second (or lower) to Alabama, they will be running below to LSU, Georgia, Florida, etc.
If all it took is money to fix what Texas has become, they would already be there.

First off Texas might have more money than Bama does. But it’s not like there is this huge gap. Bama is one of the top money making schools in the country itself. Second Bama is the most tradition rich and prestigious school in the SEC and the nation when it comes to football. Texas has a long way to go to catch Bama in that dept. Bama is one of a handful of schools that goes back to the days of the Southern Conference which was the SEC before it was called the SEC. So Texas isn’t gonna come in and muscle Bama or any other school around. The teams that was the SEC before all these add on schools will stick together if Texas tries to pull some shite probably led by Bama and a couple other of the bigger schools like UF and UGA. Texas would be getting to huge opportunity to come to the SEC so the better learn how to be team players or the 12 schools that has been around since the 90’s will put the table on top of them. Those schools will watch out for each other knowing the reputation Texas has.

We don't have control over the conference. While we are the conference's most storied and dominant team, we have never wielded the kind of power Texas wielded over the SWC and the Big 12. It's an equal partnership with equal revenue sharing. If Texas tries their shite here, Greg Sankey will pimp slap them from across the table.

All of these schools are paupers compared to Texas. Texas makes any ref buying already done in the SEC look like amateur hour.
Ask Nebraska about the 1 second put back on the clock so Texas could kick a field goal and win the conference championship.
