Lets see who benefits from further expansion:
1) TV fat cats
2) University administration fat cats
Lets see who gets the shaft from further expanion:
1) The student athletes
2) Student body
3) Fans
4) Coaches
5) Tradition
What good does it do John Doe, the every day fan to have a new TV market.
Will his team win more? No.
Will tickets to his favorite team's home games get cheaper? No.
Will the University President who gets a 100k raise chip in some gas money so that he can drive halfway across the country to watch a conference game? No
Will his cable bill get cheaper? No
I could go on and on.
Tell me why any fan would ever support continued expansion of the conference?

How do any of the people listed get the shaft?
You just don't want it because then it would be impossible for the gumps to schedule cupcakes every year. You'd have to play the good teams of the East.
We all know that you guys favor the easiest road to the championship as possible so your opposition is expected.

Nope, I'm enjoying your frustration

I do think it's funny that casual fans talk about the dollar value and regional markets in expansion.
If you're not a SEC or TV exec, why the frick would you care about that?

no reason, just greed.

I just think there are schools out there that would strengthen the conference even more.
Adding another big basketball school would be great.

And your subject could get this thread anchored.
Just saying.

You would only care if you want your school/conference to get even more cash to pay recruits.

I don't really care as long as the Big 5 rivalries are maintained:
AU-Bama
OM-MSU
AU-UGA
Bama-UT
UF-UGA
AU-Bama
OM-MSU
AU-UGA
Bama-UT
UF-UGA

I can tell you why Mizzou fans cared.

As an Aggie I would just hope that whatever they do, they do not even contemplate a push from tu to get in. Any other comment on this subject would be premature and little hypocritical at this point. Leave it up to the old guard SEC schools to map out the future of expansion for the conference, I am just happy to be here now.

I was happy with the 12 team conference. Adding two more teams wasn't needed. Adding any more teams is definitely not necessary.

You really think one shite is given about what fans think or want?
You are not worthy of being entrusted with such a decision.
Don't come around these parts anymore

So we just leave UM in the East?

Failed with use of idiots. Change subject or expect to not be taken seriously. FYI, I am no idiot.
