Brad_ATX 13,654 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 1) Trust me y'all, we do not want Texas in this conference. They are poison. 2) Any school wanting to come in needs 11 yes votes. A&M, Mizzou, and Arkansas are all probably immediate no votes. And I think LSU would also vote no. Point being, this isn't a slam dunk. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree.  I hate the thought of it. It would be like having a bigger bunch of bammers hanging around. I like Texas A&M, and I think they fit in well in the SEC. Texas would destroy the culture and take it over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answer: None SWC failed in large part due to backroom UT shenanigans. Nebraska, Mizzou, and Aggies all bolted the Big 12 because of UT and their arrogance. I live here in Austin y'all. You have no freaking idea what we'd be signing up for. I'm not talking about on-field stuff. Off the field, they are a cancer to conferences. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a big gigantic NO to their entrance. There's far too much history of them bullying conference leaders to get their way ($$$), to the detriment of their fellow conference members. Arkansas was the first to jump off the dying SWC ship before it sank. If the Longhorn Network were to end, then maybe. Maybe...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeTiger 4,999 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Wow, I'd hate to see this happen personally, but it's looking like there might be a lot of smoke here. Â If it does happen I truly hope the SEC makes it clear to Texas that they wont have an outsized influence and wont get any special treatment that they get in the Big12. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUpreacherman22 3,841 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I like the idea of us being in the same division as bama, uga, utn, and uf!!!  We’ve lost 2 of those major rivalries when we went to the division format.  Of course, in this format we would lose lswho, unless of course they became our permanent cross-division rival.  Wouldn’t surprise me if we get LSU and bama gets arky.  😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,813 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 It’s not about the on the field stuff, it’s about $$$. If the SEC (and thus the member schools) can make big money off an expansion like this, the PTB will consider it. Do you really think the fat cats are concerned about the actual wins and losses from play? Some of you guys are putting too much stock in what an expansion will do for making a schedule tougher and not enough thought on what drives college athletics.  Always about the cash flow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be wayyyy too many cooks in the kitchen. I don’t see this being positive in terms of actual athletics.

Arkansas hates UT and left the SWC largely because of them. Likely no as well. Only need one more no to sink this and remember, LSUs AD used to be the AD at Aggie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m really hating the idea of two mega conferences in 10 years. I don’t want to become the NFL. I want a decentralized sport that has regional feel. This will hurt competition imo who cares about winning when you get a payout no matter what if a team in your conference makes the Playoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think OU would be a 14-0 vote to admit. UT is the one that brings baggage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
