Dipshit, if Texas secedes again, I would fully expect the rest of the SEC footprint to follow suit.

Not so fast. I wouldn't be surprised if this negotiating is happening with the Big 10 and/or ACC.

OU & Texas to the SEC just doesn't make sense in a 4 team playoff format. That's not trash talk, or trolling. It's just a fact.

Too many big brands in the SEC competing for 1, maybe 2, spots in the postseason is stupid when the competing brands like OSU, Mich, FSU, & USC have inside tracks to a playoff spot nearly every season. At some point it's just bad business. I would argue we are close to that point now. Add OU & UT and we are definitely past it.

Looking at the business aspect of the sport, assuming a 4 team playoff format. UT and OU are perfectly positioned to leverage invites from the Big 10 or ACC to form a conference out of either that can actually contend with the brand power of the SEC.

By already having the SEC invites in hand, they are basically putting the Big 10 and ACC on the clock to make them an offer before 2025, or be forever left behind by an SEC that will be so far ahead of them in terms of brand power and combined fan support they'll never catch up. And with the power and money that comes with that, the SEC will be become the controlling voice of college football.

Tl:dr: the 2025 date gives the Big 10 and ACC an opportunity to swoop an and take UT and OU and form an effective counterbalance to the SEC 8n CFB, should either one want to rival the SEC anyway, knowing if they fail to do so they'll fall even further behind the SEC starting in 2025.

Why would we do that?


For a simple reason. Money. If ESPN offers Texas about the same money they would make in the SEC to stay in the Big12, they aren’t going anywhere.

Texas will follow the money option with the least risk of losing.

Not because they are pussies (they are but that’s not the reason). Because they are good at business.

Simple.

Fluffy - you seem almost reasonable for a sip fan. Sure you are in the right place?

You killed the previous two conferences you were in. Why ANY conference would want your kind is beyond me.

Damn. You're an especially sorry specimen of LSU fan, and that's saying something. You have any thoughts of your own on this you'd like to share, or would you prefer to continue regurgitating bullshite you heard from aggy?

I would be more than surprised if it weren't. And add the Pac-12 into the equation.

The move by tu and UO will be pivotal in the big picture, which is the ultimate formation of super conferences down the road.

If they do, indeed go through with it, it would give the SEC the upper hand and firm control of the future of college football.

What those two programs are doing now is equivalent to proposing marriage and then between that time and the wedding date, using that vow as leverage to actively seek a potential better deal.

That's the kind of "marriage" it would be for the SEC, and that's the type of chicanery that killed the two conferences the Whorns were in previously.

No one else in college sports has the same kind of institutionalized cowardice that Aggie does. Does it make sense that you ran away from Wake Forest?


Again. Just because you post something ignorant repeatedly doesn't make it a fact.

A&M left the Big12 because we had a better offer and your idiot AD thought he was brokering a deal that "little brother" would just be happy to accept. Dodds was almost as much of a moron as you are.

Now you find yourself following us around the world college sports. Just sit down and STFU until you get through with your alimony payments to Baylor, Kansas and TCU.

And when you finally get to the SEC, try not to make too much of an arse of yourself.

It’ll be 2024 at the latest but I think 2023 is more likely.
