re: The SEC may be on borrowed time

Mizzou was pretty good in everything early too. Team will adjust to Texas different look soon

Absolutely. The SEC has a cancer that will destroy the conference if not eradicated or controlled.

Texas’ former conferences:

Southwest Conference - deceased.
Big 12 Conference - alive, but significantly diminished.

Universities that have changed conferences to get away from the cancer. Off the top of my head, may be more.

Arkansas
Colorado
Missouri
Nebraska
Texas A&M

You seem mad

When was the last time yall won anything of significance since joining the SEC? Or since Jung was pitching for you? You haven’t won as many football titles as multiple SEC schools, have 0 basketball titles, and haven’t been competitive in baseball for over a decade. Just trying to figure out when yall are going to accept that you were still going to lose against Bama with or without Colt “Uncle Rico” McCoy…

Aggie won’t destroy anything, they love this hayseed conference.

But yes, we will absolutely gut this place from the inside out.

We appreciate your candor.

The sips are liberals. PAC wannabees. Liberals infiltrate organizations and ruin them from the inside out. Public schools, most universities, all of the mainstream protestant denominations, all of Europe, the whole west coast, the PAC and now they are infecting the SEC. They are institutional AIDS.

Obviously the bigger the SEC has become, you have differing views from membership. The SEC worked because you had like minded schools that shared common goals. Today, everyone just wants their piece of the pie and damn the torpedos - it's win at all costs. And I realize it's always been that way but in the past you always had that healthy respect for your peers. I really think Texas and Aggies will destroy this conference as we know it.

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey acknowledged that some schools within the conference have discussed the possibility of breaking away from the NCAA. While this hardly seems noteworthy these days, he made it clear that he does not believe that is the right path for college athletics.

Well, as much as I hate the sips, I don't think their addition is going to destroy the SEC. The reason I hated to see them come was that I feared that this move would have repercussions elsewhere in realignment, and it has been worse than I imagined.

After panicking when OU and Texas made the move to the SEC, and abandoning its long held expansion criteria, the Big Ten is certainly now a Rube Goldberg contraption (if it wasn't already, thanks to Rutgers and Maryland). In chemistry terms, you would say that it is not in a stable state. The ACC and Big XII are equally bad in that regard. I don't know exactly where all those schools will end up, but there's no reason for the SEC to do anything for the foreseeable future. 16 teams may not be optimal in some respects, but it can work if given the opportunity.

The whole "we're going to leave the NCAA" thing is overblown. There is no need to leave the NCAA, as the NCAA is allowing the big football schools to do pretty much whatever they want. All you would do by leaving the NCAA is kill the basketball tournament, which is a good money maker, and throw your non-revenue sports into chaos. It's just not necessary, and certainly not worth it.

No dickbreath that was Mizzou flirting with the Big Ten and then Nebraska jumping up and taking their spot.
