"somewhere where they thought being racist and cheating would be accepted"
They could have enjoyed that by staying in the lily white Big 12 footprint. Outside of the large Hispanic population in Texas, the Big 12 states are some of the most homogeneous lily white areas in the country. As for cheating, the current Big 12 consists mostly of old Southwest conference teams which were notorious cheaters. Try again.

I'm sorry but you couldn't be more wrong.
Culturally a&m is a much better fit than texas

I've posted these thoughts elsewhere...
Basically, the conference has to want Texas and A&M has to sign off on it. Not saying A&M holds a veto but there would be a cost/benefit associated with bringing on Texas as opposed to other schools (OU,FSU, etc)
quote:
Several points regarding the Horns possible move to the SEC...
- Right now the business model of collegiate networks is based on the in-state subscriber rates. This was a major reason why A&M was brought on board because they brought the in-state subscriber rates for Texas. If a la carte programming were to come along that shifts the burden from in-state to national rates and the SEC would have to improve the overall quality of teams as opposed to breadth of the conference. This means teams like OU, FSU, Clemson, Texas, and Miami are much more appealing to the conference than they were two years ago.
- Bama is the King of the Conference. And they want to remain the King. Bringing in Texas who essentially sank the Nebraska Program would not be un-noticed. Now, they can say that "This is a different situation, we'll prevent that from happening", or they can say "Let's just get OU and FSU and not deal with it"...
- Missouri, Arkansas, LSU, and A&M all have reasons to prevent a Texas accession into the SEC (recruiting, bad blood from B12 or SWC). Not saying they will, just that they have reasons. But A&M could be bought out for the right price (ex: On Campus Law School, more equal distro of PUF, etc...). If A&M were to change it's tune it'd probably make accession into the conference a lot easier.

Oklahoma won't leave without OSU and Texas wouldn't be voted in because of an agreement we have with Mizzou, Ole Miss and Arkansas. It was also agreed upon when TAMU joined that the SEC wouldn't admit another school that was in the same geographical as another.

It is true. The SEC doesn't have anything in common with Texas's Cali vibe, no matter how much you dumb down the comparison with old stereotypes.

The "fit" argument is dumb. A&M doesn't fit, but we're stuck with them. Texas has nothing to gain by joining the SEC. Nothing.
Literally every sentence in this post is false.
I hope Texas is never a part of the SEC, and I'm pretty confident that that they won't be, for a lot of reasons. I do hope we get to start playing them again soon, though.

Keep your burnt orange shirt in the closet buddy, tu is way too jealous of A&M to ever seek admission
AND Slive does not want the commuter school that the ACC, Pac 12, and BIG 10 all publicly rejected 2 years ago. They have become the punchline of half the jokes in college football.

I want to see UNC in the SEC.

I have been saying I want that. Move Bama and auburn east and all rivalries stay intact and you have balanced divisions and how the trick could you not have an interesting game every week by adding two teams with that much success and history. Would be awesome.

I would rather have Texas in the SEC than A&M.
Posted on 9/20/13 at 8:14 am to labamafan
I would rather push A&M and Missouri out and add FSU and UVA.

There are only a handful of schools that would enhance the SEC, tu is most definitely one of them. I hope they join. I miss beating those ****s. (Texas leads, 76–37–5 might as well include it before someone else does)

I, honestly, don't think I would hate it. I kinda miss the tuck fexas signs and the downturned longhorn hand gestures. Good times.

I keep explaining this but y'all just don't seem to be able to grasp it: Baylor is about half way through constructing a brand-new on-campus stadium. They waited to start on it until after the Grant of Rights assured them the Big XII TV money revenue stream. If they didn't have that TV money, they could no longer afford the stadium. If UT left the Big XII, the Big XII would collapse. Baylor would not land in a major conference. They'd be in deep shite with that stadium debt and operating expenses. They'd sue UT for breaking the GOR and damaging them in the process. Baylor is Trial Lawyer U. Most of the nastiest litigators in this state are Baylor attorneys. It'd be ugly for UT because people would side with Baylor - the only reason they went ahead and built the new stadium is because of a promise UT made them. Their allies would be Texas Tech and TCU, as both of those schools would be headed for a tertiary conference as well. UT is left holding the water. It just is. All this other talk is just nonsense.
