Right, because a 10 team SEC that still had Alabama/AU/UF/UG/LSU/UT would absolutely suck without Arkansas/UM/USC/TAMU.
LSU was considering leaving the SEC to join a rumored super conference with Texas, A&M, Oklahoma, Arkansas and I forget all who else.

My point is, the SEC would never take Texas because of the greedy bastards they are...but...if that wasn't the case, and it was between Texas and aTm, it wouldn't have been aTm that was invited.
...and don't lump me in with the idiots who think that the SEC is out to get LSU...those people are another breed in themselves...
The SEC expanded for tv markets...period...we all know that...
Good post and I apologize for my preconceived notions

The funny thing about this is that Arkansas was invited for it's prestige.

What is really hard for some of you to absorb, is Texas would never be willing to play by the rules. They are who they are.
Not that it matters or you care, but alot of you LSU fans are douches.
That's why Texas will never, again, be invited to join the SEC. Doesn't matter how much they'd add to the coffer.

Thamel was just on Fbaum when he said this. Despite being one of the biggest scum douchebags in sports, I actually agree with him on this. A&M and all their "baby mama" type drama with JFF and Mizzou being an outsider whose only job was to be good in basketball and ultimately failing miserably, you guys are not having a positive affect on the conference
.... Ok, hmmm.. Jealous? Didn't the NCAA investigate you on your "championship run" we haven't even made it to a BCS bowl & we're Pen State all of a sudden. As far as I'm concerned, if the conference expanded to 30 teams, Alabama is still your problem, & that's without those NCAA investigations.. & the SEC saw opportunity in money. TEXAS is a far more revenue generating state then ALABAMA. Sorry tide fans but it's the truth. We bring you $$$$ mike is a wise man

I agree. I actually used to like and respect A&M.

Love having Mizzou...great University and even better fans

I have no problem with the fan base. Mid to Southern Mo has good people. It just doesn't seem like a geographical fit. I can understand the market grab though.

Mizzou is a great school with even better peeps.
They were a top-notch get for the SEC.
And they'll compete in most sports, sooner rather than later.
