Apparently your IQ isn’t high enough to grasp anything above pictures with crayons, but let me try this: Ever see those pictures of unbelievably, incredibly hot 20 something chicks in a bikini on a boat, with some old fricker that looks like he may fall over dead at any moment? Yeah, she’s not with him because he’s good, or even acceptable in any way, outside of his bank account. Just to be clear, you are the rich old geezer, the SEC is the bikini model.

Dumbed down enough for you, Tex?

We wanted your tv market. Getting a bottom tier program was the price we had to pay to get it.

Seriously... when was the last time a Texas team was relevant on the national stage?

You ain't Alabama. You are just like us: decent historical program that wandered the desert for years.

You finally got your coach. We'll get ours too, if it ain't Sark.

ESPN wanted a way to get rid of LHN. So they view this as a win/win. Get rid of LHN and have sec exclusively giving them a product they can actually make money on.

Sec wins with more money from ESPN.

The Longhorn Network and Texas entitlement killed the Big 12.

Of course the SEC wanted Texas. Every conference wants Texas. Massive population that actually cares about football, elite recruiting grounds, solid academics, the total package. Texas fans are going to get shite on here as the new pledges in the conference, but of course adding Texas was a home run. I'd argue it is the most significant conference addition ever. More than Penn St to the B10, Miami to the ACC, or USC to the B10. Even better for the SEC is we did it by staying geographically and culturally contiguous unlike the B10 which has to hold its nose while adding West Coast teams.

Nebraska left because they were 1-9 against Texas in league play and couldn't stomach it. Morons killed their program's recruiting pipeline to go get beat by Northwestern.

Missouri begins frantically texting the Big 10 but getting left on read.

Colorado left because the Big 12 South (minus Baylor) was rumored to be joining the Pac10, and Colorado saw their window shrinking. I'll concede Texas was leading that charge. Colorado's the only one with a legitimate gripe against Texas.

ESPN swoops in and gives Texas the Longhorn Network to keep them (and the rest) in the Big 12, which had now lost Nebraska and Colorado. A&M was pissed when Texas admin told A&M's president "We'll take good care of you," and he began conversations with the SEC.

To get A&M to stay, the Big 12 gives Texas A&M Nebraska's cut, and yet they still left for the SEC a couple years later. Missouri can't believe its luck.

Culpability rankings: Nebraska >>>> Texas >> Texas A&M >> Missouri >> Colorado.

No one outside of the money grubbing big shots who run the SEC wanted you. No one wanted ATM or Misery either.

If the SEC had not added aTm, Texas, and OU, we'd find ourselves making 20-30 mil less per season than Big Ten teams and wondering if/when teams like Kentucky or Tennessee might start looking north.

We could have achieved the same financial gain bringing FSU and Clemson into the conference. True SEC destination schools
