Texas needs the SEC to stay viable in the new landscape

the SEC does not need Texas

Texas fans are already posting on the rant and other places about “who belongs” in the SEC.
So basically another Georgia Tech. IF and I mean IF what you say is true, and Texas is dumb enough to try and prune the SEC, Texas will be on the outside looking in. They will be free to join the Big 10 or Pac12. The SEC will still be the strongest conference with or without them (the SEC is already without them)

You're the prototypical Texas bitch. Your posts are the perfect example of your arrogance and sense of self entitlement. Your glory days are long gone.

They have been a big fish in a little pond. The old SWC was comprised of 9 schools, only Arkansas was located outside the state of Texas.
Internal Texas politics have also factored into their behavior over the years. They’ve aligned with other Texas schools to wield power over the rest of the Big 12 at times, and then would run to schools like OU outside of the state when politicians from Baylor, A&M, etc. in Austin weren’t giving them what they wanted.
They will be a strong sports program on the far western fringes of the SEC empire. They will have A&M to keep them in check in the their own state. Plus, the university no longer holds nearly as much sway over the rest of the state like it did for decades.

They don't have a choice here. They are a bottom tier team in the SEC.

Texas’s vote within the SEC will cancel ATM’s

I hope it doesn't go down as you predict. But, as a grad, I haven't received any calls asking for my input, so I go along and cheer for my team wherever they play.

That is wonderful for Texas.
However how many NC has Texas won the the big three sports since 2000? 3? Yes Texas makes a lot of money, but look at how many SEC teams make roughly the same amount (I said the SEC had 10 of the top 20, the Big 12 has 2)
If you think winning the Director's Cups are impressive, then you might want to stay in the Big 12.
Since 2000 Florida has won back to back Basketball titles, Alabama has won back to back Football titles which honestly are more impressive
"The University of North Carolina won the award in its inaugural year, but then Stanford University won the Division I award for 25 straight years until the streak was broken in 2020–21 by the University of Texas."
Does Texas really want to be Stanford in sports?

This is an exciting time for Texas and the SEC. We look forward to joining the SEC and believe that along with Oklahoma we will strengthen and add value to the conference.

These daily affirmations you guys pump yourselves up with are funny as frick. Only thing funnier is the fear they betray. A decade of aggy's tall tales have you all gassed up.

How many NC did Texas win this year in the big 3 sports? Last Year? the year before that?
UTexas has become the Stanford Athletic Department. Congrats
