ND & the B1G are at odds. ND wants to use the B1G like the ACC (never join but schedule with) & B1G is having to decide how strong is their interest in ND.
It’s quite amusing to watch.

You are wrong. Arkansas knew the writing was on the wall. A&M and Nebraska. Maybe you could argue Colorado. But the rest of us left to depart the same attitude you and your administration have exhibited.
You are correct. Us Ags enjoy the SEC. We just don't think its a "hayseed" conference.

It’s the only move I see that makes more money without diminishing the college football fan(me) experience. It’s basically just streamlining the old p5 and cutting out the regional teams that made the schedules uneven(ie wake forest, Oregon states Rutgers Boston colleges and Washington states). The week to week college football schedule would be phenomenal across the board. You’d have more consistent data to compare schedules with.

Agree. Their conference went to complete arse when we left. Love playing them, don’t like having dinner with them.

SWC was complete arse when you were in it, too. That's why you left.

True - yall were the only team worth playing in pretty much all sports. But honestly, it never made sense. Arkansas is a Southern state. There is nothing southwestern about it anywhere or in any cultural way.

Ray Charles saw it coming. I still laugh at the UCLA bball coach complaint about traveling to Midwest for conference games. Do folks look at a map?

I really think Texas and Aggies will destroy this conference as we know it.

Arkansas at first wanted to join the BIG 8.

This is rich. Now we're being looped in with tx as the poison pill for this conference. We told yall what the risk was before, during and after the addition of tx and OU.
A&M was happy enough to see the horns and sooner wallow in the obscurity of the B12 schedule. Yall motherfrickers did this to yourselves.

Kick Texas out of the SEC, then the Union.
Replace with Puerto Rico for the pipeline of baseball talent.

Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri and Texas A&M left to be replaced by West Virginia, BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF. Think some pac 12 leftovers may have joined when Texas and Oklahoma left. The big 12 is basically the new conference USA.
And?
Only one of the schools that left was remotely relevant in sports.
This isn't a point.

It would politically be much better than the suffocating SWC that flanked them from all sides.

Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri, Texas A&M, Texas and Oklahoma left.

Some of yall need to quit bitching. A ten team SEC isn’t coming back. This conference thrived in all three rounds of expansion and kept its identity as being a Southern powerhouse. While Missouri and Texas are two schools that may not be culturally southern, A&M definitely is and OU fits nicely as well. All of our states are continuous, and have great fan bases.
I think the lack of regionality is what will eventually hurt the B1G. The travel times of the four schools on the west coast is ridiculous, and hard to foster regional rivalries. College athletics always was, and always will be about regional rivalries. We corner the market on that, and it’s what makes our conference generate interest.
Just relax. The SEC will be more than fine. We’re gonna own this shite!

Hahahaha.......you're clearly the know-nothing retard here.
I've said nothing that isn't factual and I would know better than you. I'm actually from the BIG 8 / BIG XII and I was there. You were not.
You're just some turd SEC fan pretending he knows history outside of his SEC bubble talking out of his arse on tRant.

Dang! I actually agree with aggy here!
aggy is not going to burn the SEC down, as that SEC patch on their teams’ jerseys gives them some pride, and a reason for living… Plus aggy knows that they would culturally be a fish out of water in the B1G.
And here’s a secret… Texas is not going to burn the SEC down either, as we like getting back with old rivals, and the new in-conference huge game match ups against big brand schools like Georgia, Alabama, LSU, and Florida. Don’t y’all remember that we were so excited to join the SEC that we threw a huge campus party with international music star Pitbull headlining?
Yes we are arrogant, but it’s that arrogance which makes it feel right to be competing in the best U.S. college sports conference, the SEC. And don’t deny that fans of old line schools like Georgia, Alabama, and LSU are not arrogant… that shite is not going to wash with me…
