re: Why did the SEC go after Texas when we already had aTm with a big market?

As much as I dislike Texas, I have to admit they are the premier college football team in the state. It doesn't matter if they suck or not, they still have fans excited to watch their favorite team get abused like a two dollar hooker.
A&M is about on par with Baylor. SEC is probably a little disappointed in the return they are getting from adding them and Mizzou.

The real reason?
Aggy is going to get run out of the SEC sooner or later and they wanted a replacement Texas school lined up.

I'm impressed by LSU's home record in the last 20 years you do know OU is sitting right behind you with home wins you have to play half the games in Norman?

This is correct. Plans are afoot to run Aggy and Mizzou out of the SEC. When that happens, the SEC will look eastward (UNC and Duke) to replace them. Clemson and FSU will also be added.

LSU fans ... don't go changin'.

A&M missed its Big Brother and has been using LSU as a surrogate.

If Oklahoma left for the sec, what would Texas have?
They both came to us anyway. Also, big brand football is what will drive the money.
Forcing Texas a and m and Akra is as to play Texas is a great money maker. OU will have find rivalries that matter beyond Texas. No problem there.
Only a few more additions make pretty good sense.
Clemson
UNC
Va
Vt
FSU
These others would be okay but not needed or not easily possible.
Miami
Ncsu
Nd
Wvu

Ideally they should kick Mizzou out and get Oklahoma St
No need for additional states
If you want to get bigger invite Clemson and Fla St

it was about tv markets when everyone had cable so everyone including people who would never watch CFB had to buy ESPN.
Now it is about brands and putting out a good product. Texas and OU check both off.
The big 10 added 1 program of 5 that is worth while

They make better sense for the big12 or big 10 anyway.
That is, if they were invited as senior members.

Check the series history. This isn't the case at all.

Is that not still Alabama?
The state of Alabama has more 5*s than Texas this year.
Alabama >> Texas (except head to head in which case Texas >>>>>>> Alabama)
Auburn >>>>>> Aggy

I love how quickly the SEC started hating the Aggies. Look forward to officially joining the conference so that we can collectively point and laugh at them.
