Texas will never join the SEC. The powers that be think SEC academics is beneath them. Idiots.
Texas to the PAC 12 was a go but the PAC 12 wanted all LHN profits to go into the equal revenue sharing pot.

TCU and Oklahoma and as previously suggested move Bama and Aubie east and I like the alternating champ game

Realistically if the Big 12 ever fell apart I don't see the SEC getting Texas. Texas will stay with Baylor, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State and go to the Pac 12 like they were originally going to do. The Big Ten grabs Kansas and Kansas State and most likely the SEC grabs West Virginia and TCU. Iowa State and Texas Tech are the ones who get left out and have to join the Mountain West.

All of this seems likely except the SEC accepting TCU and West virgina. I think we would probably look to some current acc schools in the virgina and north carolina region.

OU and Ok St. Adding UTx would double dip into tv markets we already own while simultaneously destroying the SEC's investment into building up A&M as the state's SEC school.

frick no to Texas or Oklahoma, the add almost zero to profits and add two more mouths to feed. We are already getting paid for the tv sets in Texas and adding the longhorns adds no more money. there are only 27 TV's in Oklahoma so no to them. The answer is new revenue, revenue that adds to each schools cut. We need a Virginia and North Carolina school. In addition to increased tv revenue, they are also located in the SOUTH EAST.

If I HAD to choose 1. It would be kansas. It would be too fun watching them react to the SEC. They would feel so out of place. Like a 7th grader with a huge zit on their face thinking everyone is watching them all the time.

No. I'm sorry. You cannot post the weekly "What team would you want in the SEC", in any form, during the season. This is unacceptable.

Kansas to replace Missouri

Texas always has the deck stacked in their favor where they get more bowl revenue than the others. Frankly surprised OU has put up with that shite. But we don't do it that way in the Southeastern Conference. Everyone gets an equal share and we have the SEC NETWORK, not the Bama Network, LSU Network, Florida Network, etc. The powers that be at Texas have a deluded sense of superiority over every other program in America and will never agree to be being on equal footing with the rest of the SEC.

I predicted in a post that the Big 12 will HAVE to do something since the lack of a conference championship game hurt both TCU and Baylor making the playoffs.
They will either have to dissolve the conference or expand it to 12 teams. If the conference is dissolved, I would be in favor in adding Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC for the following reasons:
1. Adding Texas would essentially wrap up all of the Texas TV market. Adding Oklahoma would add the Oklahoma City and Tulsa TV market.
2. The SEC can move Alabama and Auburn to the East and put Texas and Oklahoma in the West. The two divisions would be nearly equitable and it would preserve all Bama-Auburn, Auburn-Georgia, and Bama-Tenn rivalries.
3. The SEC could go to a 9 game conference schedule (7 from the respective division and 2 rotating from the other division). This will allow teams from other divisions to play each other more often.
I like all of this except for two issues.
1. Texas: biggest asshats in all of college football. Have ruined two conferences in the last quarter century, why would that suddenly change? They won't want to play on equal footing, if they don't have the deck stacked in their favor, they won't play. Also, they would have to give up their precious Longhorn Network to join the SEC. Making exceptions for Texas is how you end up with a situation like the current Big 12.
My solution: take Texas Tech, Baylor, or TCU instead of Texas. No, they aren't nearly the holy grail of revenue and history that Texas is, but frick Texas.
2. Adding both Oklahoma and Texas to the conference would be awesome, but it would be a fricking meat grinder getting through a 9 game conference schedule with that many heavyweights. The SEC championship would literally carry 2x the value of a national champhionship.
Solution: Same as above, add Texas Tech, TCU, or Baylor instead. frick Texas.

Texas is just like Bama, - the NC's

Don't new additions to the SEC have to be voted in unanimously? Would Texas A&M even be okay with adding Texas?

I think they need 75% initial vote but based on past history they seem to want 100% or maybe just 1 no vote.
