It always amazes me that almost every one of these conference realignment complaint posts fails to realize what conference realignment is all about.

It is about pie, as in each school's slice of the conference revenue pie. That revenue comes from regional TV share. OSU does not bring an equivalent audience to warrant its share of the pie.

"Its not personal, its just business..."

I was actually suprised that OU made the move because a few yrs back when there was more conf realigment rumblings OU stated they had a gentlemens agreement with OSU they both would stick together.

They would never do that. The SEC is all about controlling media markets. They don’t gain anything from an eyeball perspective by adding another Oklahoma school. However, having a STL market is a big ratings draw. There’s an interesting segment on the Lebatard Show where Ex ESPN CEO John Skipper explains all of this.

Kickout the flagship University of a state with 2 big media markets and bring in a second banana program that doesn't add any television sets that OU wouldn't. You'd make a great commissioner.

None of these conferences are going to sacrifice money for some false noble sentiment.

The only reason certain schools are in conferences right now is because they were founding members.

When Texas says "Jump!", OU says "How high?"

It is not the SEC's responsibility that OK St thrives moving forward.

That is OK St's responsibility.

Is their application outstanding? Why is it any better than a Florida State or a Clemson application?

I'd be willing to give the b12 Auburn for Oklahoma State.

Trade Moo U for Ok St would be a step up for the SEC

Auburn used to be a dirt road School in Alabama that begged teams to play us if we could pay them some type of "Agreement" financially.

That was was embarrassing on a yearly basis.


How old are you? 120 or so?

Yet another expansion school has a problem with the way I worded my joke about Missouri..

Texas A&M check
Missouri check
Arkansas check
South Carolina

WE all are waiting on YOU South Carolina..

They just made a coach apologize for a tshirt.


And take a pay cut. It was only a t shirt with a conservative tv network name on it.

He should have refused to apologize and gotten a huge payday and lawsuit.
