Rape U did that to themselves.

People loved to hate Baylor long before Briles, that just fanned the flames

Nobody really hated Baylor before Briles. They just didn’t respect them. They were pretty much irrelevant to the point of not even being an after thought.

I hope everyone is having a lot of fun wrapping themselves in their school color and pointing fingers and yelling at they and them. The bottom line is this has nothing to do with school loyalty or conference loyalty or anything other than money. This is the first step in a trip that will end with 4 16 team conferences splitting off from the NCAA, for football and probably basketball. College football and basketball will be a professional program. Athletes will be paid employee's of the university and not students. They will have contracts and agents and be traded and bought like NFL and NBA players. Except for a few they won't care where they are except for who offers the best contract and when they leave there won't be any connection back to the program.

It's been this way at the AD and coaching level and up for a long time. The only color that matters is green and who has the most will determine who win's the most.

Welcome to the future folks, I for one am not excited where this is going and it has nothing to do with Texas joining the SEC.

They will be crying and pointing fingers when it happens and I believe you are correct. One schools pomposity will cause a negative chain reaction and lots of schools will suffer. The funny thing is college football is their everything and when it’s gone what are they going to do?[emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] I swear some of you guys are absolutely embarrassing! I bet y’all are fun a parties… if y’all get invited!

What’s good for the goose…

Based on today’s comments from a Pres and AD, it’s obvious how this went down.

I wasn’t big on the move, I figured they’d end up in the B1G at some point, but this simply makes more sense geographically.

If/when it becomes official. It’s funny that everyone affiliated with a few instate programs wants to pin it on the cash cow that kept their coffers full for years. The SEC had to want to expand.

I am really excited about UT going to the SEC. Football and baseball will be great to watch. I do think there is a lot that needs to be hashed out before it’s a done deal and I’m sure there will be some legislators that will attempt to block it. I hope it happens. I think it would be great to have the UT - Aggy game again. May need to have the national Guard on site to keep peace though.

Let’s face it, college sports is getting more and more tainted by the big money and I think it’s naive for us to look at it the same way as it was. I do think Tech, TCU, Ok St and Baylor land somewhere. Most likely not all together. Tech to PAC 12 is kind of exciting. Could see TCU and OK St there too. Gonna sit back and watch this drama unfold.

I figure a chunk of the Big 12 ends up in the American.

IMO, the Longhorns stand to be the the biggest beneficiary of a move to the SEC, financially and athletically (program wise). I happen to think A&M is likely to get the second biggest bump, followed by Oklahoma and the rest of the SEC teams. (I will add that Arkansas could actually get a substantial bump, competitively, as well.)

Bama, LSU, UGA, Florida, and the upper echelon teams in the current SEC will obviously continue to recruit at their normally high level, as will OU.

But I think the Longhorns and Ags (along with OU, LSU and possibly Arkansas) will be in better position to recruit the Texas kids that might otherwise have gone to TCU, Tech or Baylor, especially if those schools aren’t able to jump on another P5 wagon.

I also think the increased strength of league could even negatively impact recruiting powerhouses like OSU, Clemson, ND, Oregon, etc.

Of course, there will still be highly rated Texas HS kids that go out of state, but I think most will give even higher consideration to SEC schools, as well.

Sad but true unfortunately
