Houston Chronicle: Texas, Oklahoma reach out to SEC about joining conference

[Virginia Frog]

The disrespect to A&M is phenomenal. And they just have to sit and take it, apparently. They were basically bait to lure Texas out of the Big 12.

The Aggies have simply been a disappointment to the SEC. The football has been very marginal since entering in 2012. (Missou too)

As a result, they've lost their cred with the powers-that-be and the "handshake agreement" to not admit another school from Texas without their approval will be abrogated. Hard cheese fellas...UT/OU is the new SEC flavor of the decade.

Not sure what I said to offend you, but ok.

You think that's bad? Try having a civil discussion about your favorite pancakes and see what happens on here.

Barbarians, this bunch.

 

[Froggish]

I feel like wherever we land coming out of this current B12 implosion will only be temporary. Like no more than a couple of years. College Football feels pretty empty at this point

I’m new here so....ok, no pancake discussions. Got it.

*whispers* gotta go with pecan *ducks*

Enjoy the Southland Conference.

 

[Mean Purple]

only the ags could be this possibly stupid

depends what is in the deal they made with the SECond.
It was crazy how much Slive bent on that. But he knew the ACC was planning to make some big moves. People forget that before Aggy and Misery bolted, ACC was in the news planning ahead.

 

[Waco Bear]

Enjoy the Southland Conference.

Hopefully not an experience I’ll have but we’ll see. Ideal situation would be 4 Texoma schools to PAC 12 and form a pod that pairs up with a pod of the two Arizona schools, Utah, and Colorado. That would keep us in the Central and Mountain time zones for most games. Personal preference would be ACC, but that’s not happening. I realize we’re supposed to hate eachother but I hope the best for y’all. This great state doesn’t need fewer P5 teams in the mix.

 

[Mean Purple]

You people are pathetic.

you hate the left learners in the admin UNLESS it can help the dumb sports get into a dumb sports league. Then it’s great.

you [ #2020 ]s are really principled!

(cough ... cough) ahem, uh, says the lawyer stalking smu coeds and one minor soccer team from across the pond.

 

[Mean Purple]

Mosely is a really tongue-in-cheek guy. No question he’s trying to be funny.

and he's an ass hat

 

[Mean Purple]

UT would consider going independent if SEC and/PAC 12 aren’t options. Sounds like they are playing all the angles…

a lot of this is about the tv money guys making sure only certain teams can make the playoff.
I give it about 3 more years before an antitrust suit comes down and finally fixes the [ deposit from a bull that looks like Art Briles ].

 

[Mean Purple]

This is a really insightful point. Divided, we are more easily conquered. If the end game is 32 teams, that means AT LEAST 32 schools are about to lose 30-40 million per year.

enjoy bankruptcy

 

[Mean Purple]

I would think OSU would be included since they were in the group that was in initial discussions a few years ago with the PAC until UT quashed it.

OSU will end up in the big 10

 

[Mean Purple]

have no issue with this year being the last year with texas and ou in the conference.

if this is going to happen no reason to drag it out

not sure either school can take the financial hit at this time. sounds like they could owe if they leave early.

Mean statement, please stop

Mean statement, please stop

no

lol. Ok, man.

OSU will end up in the big 10

Haven’t heard that one. OSU isn’t an AAU school, are they? BIG10 won’t invite a school if they aren’t. Both KU and ISU are.

not sure if you have turned on the tv lately, but college football is a billion dollar biz and it recently went to a whole new level of wild west we didn't know possible.
Those ratings are already driven politically and financially. Don't think for a minute arrangements would not be made.

I know this is a fan account or whatever you want to call it but for you 247 guys, did Jeremy really say this?

I could agree on this. I think Tech, Oklahoma St, TCU and UH would fill markets well for the PAC. Plus playing Utah again would be fun.

why do people try to bring uh into this equation?

three schools from texas is not a good thing and they get less attention in houston than the frogs in dallas
