Don't get excited. Nothing new and the information that he presents is like they are still at square 1. In other words, this is completely devoid of any breaking information. Still, I SIAP.

Appears to be the case
Bama's will magically change to Vandy Mizzou and Auburn

It's just an interview not even worth printing a transcript of. I honestly don't know why I even bothered to post the link. They've only known about the two imposters joining for going-on 4 years now. To me, this should have been sorted out prior to allowing two new teams in the league.

Once Texas is an official member, our AD will tell Sankey what to do. You can put this out of your mind until that time.

Sankey already laughed at Texas’ AD when he requested the annual pillow-fight between unranked Texas and Oklahoma get a permanent prime time slot

Hey the day we get all our conference home games at 7pm then give that game whatever slot they want.

Until he found out what his permanent games would be. He figured the league office would roll over and like they always do, and hey I can’t blame him for thinking that given the track record. Once they didn’t the tune changed quickly.

Texas pretending to swing a big dick when they’ve only won the Big12 twice in the 21st century, which is less than Kansas State and Baylor

Once in the SEC, you are no longer, UT - only the Vols get that designation. You won't call the shots, either. No one is going to listen to the toxic cesspool from Austin.

You can tell they’ve REALLY gotten used to being the big fish in a small pond.

It's a done deal. The SEC hired analysts/strategists years ago to draw up every scenario possible.
The SEC's (Sankey) just stringing along journalists, writers, fans.

The analysts got it down to 2 options 1-7 and 3-6. It looked like 3-6 would carry the day but at least 1 school (Alabama) changed their vote so now it may be a 7-7 vote if they took it today.

I guarantee he isn't going to be quiet about possibly being the only team to draw three big 6 permanent rivals on the strawman 3-perm rivals schedule that was floated by whomever.

It's a bunch of self-interested parties trying to make a collaborative decision. It won't happen until damn near the deadline if not after. And then, it will probably be revised at the first chance.

I think they assumed Alabama would drop LSU of the 3 but from a conference perspective it doesn’t make sense to not play that game.

I'd rather UTk and LSU than a combo with AU tbh.

1. Texass: you will play whenever the SEC Office says you will play. Go to the back of the line.

2. We have never had 8 schools in favor of the 9 game schedule, 3-6-6.

3. Part of the problem now is that ABC-ESPN-Disney does NOT want to add $$$ to our contract for OU and Texass and playing 9 games.

4. I hope LSU will vote for 8 games, 1-7-7. That is what is best for the SEC top-to-bottom.
