SEC Administrative power shift is inevitable (LSU/TU/A&M/OK)

Didn't want them here, but now that they are here A&M will continue to lookout for ourselves even if that means teaming up with tU (to our benefit) when it comes to intra-conference disputes that will arise at some point. Texas, Oklahoma, A&M creates a formidable Western power block within the conference. Even LSU who has a history of not being pleased with the Bama Centric SEC Admin offices may join that block when they see fit. It's going to be a lot of legit money thrown around to influence the SEC decision makers and dangle in front of the poorer schools to get them to cooperate. The Administrative power shift away from Birmingham is inevitable.

Yeah I don't think so my guy.
The good ole boy club in Birmingham is STRONG

You’re kidding yourself if you think LSU wouldn’t align with the schools it has almost 90 years of history with.

The political dynamics will definitely change in the future. They may tread lightly at first, but once everyone gets comfy it will get interesting. Lets be honest here though. This probably isn't the end of all this. The bigger schools will all eventually break and form their own league. Money talks.

No. Sorry.

I legitimately hope this destroys the SEC. We warned them

That part, the weaker poorer programs will eventually get left out in the grand scheme of things and be regulated to the likes of Non-Conference fodder.

I have a feeling it might. Unlike you, I hope I'm wrong, though.

Nope. No it isn't.

I had some sympathy for A&M but this whole petulant child demeanor has changed my mind. I hope you lose every game you play against texas and that is their only win of the season. You can be miserable together.

The real power in the SEC belongs to the charter members. That won't be changing.
New members can accept that fact and enjoy the privileges of playing in the best conference in college football.
OR they can enjoy playing on the Hallmark Channel at 11:00 a.m.

Maybe. More likely Texas will just control the Conference through their relationship with ESPN. Where the office sits is irrelevant in the short term. Will be interesting to see how it goes the first time Bama tries to push back hard on Texas. I do think there will be a power shift for certain. Texas is the biggest dog now and OU is their lackey. A&M likely joins as does Arkie. LSU is kind of caught in the middle, personally I think Texas does it's thing and destroys LSU and starts buying up your talent along with A&M and Oklahoma. The influx of 2 more power SEC schools going after Louisiana recruits and being able to buy them openly is going to be intersting to watch.
The Mississippi schools will likely try to hang on to the old guard while they can.
The problem is Texas has ESPN's vote and that's the one with the real power.

Geez. All that talk for 9 years about how you didn’t need them and you immediately fire off with this.

There's a LOT more money in TX than most SEC states combined. Don't think this won't have an impact. Status quo will change over time.
