Who cares st this point. Worse thing would be SEC rejects them. Rest of conference teams will be looking over their shoulder and searching for a way out. The fake Big 12 is that dead skunk in by the middle of the road...and it's stinking to high heaven.

Proves NCAA waisted their time increasing playoff teams. It's really about making dough and baking bread.

Been going to Arkansas several times over the last year. Growing up on a hillside in WV, never thought I would ever see bigger rednecks, but Arkansas has to be #1, up there in the Ozarks area. Great place. Also never realized how close Fayetteville is to the Oklahoma border, and not really far from Austin.

Have some good friends from Arkansas that work and live here in Charleston now. Looking forward to the basketball game this year against them.

OK, Texas A&M is a given, so is Florida and South Carolina. Florida received help keeping FSU out and South Carolina does not want Clemson in. Georgia surely does not want Georgia Tech and Kentucky does not want Louisville. Is there another school in Arkansas that could possibly go P5 and want in the SEC? I don't think so, why would they care either way?

I've already named 7 schools that have a vested interest in keeping Texas out. I don't see where Oklahoma would have a problem if they want to go it alone.

The vote will be 12-0 though
A&M is no longer playing politics in their conference and attempting to get schools to vote against it
I cannot find the source to verify A&M just lying down on this one. All negotiations prior to the Houston article were without their knowledge. If Texas is admitted without the expulsion of A&M, the 'one state one team' understanding is out the window for everyone else also.

FSU? In, sorry Florida. Clemson? Sorry Gamecocks. And there will be others.

No factual evidence of that. The President of A&M released a statement today saying they won’t stand in the way

Link? If that is true they had to have been threatened with expulsion if they fought it. They were pretty livid and literally hate the Longhorns. That's why they left the Big 12.

A&M even admitted the same thing happened when they joined the SEC.

No one state one team😂. Way for the SEC to move into new states during last expansion
This expansion doesn’t have a thing to do with the SEC Network
One state thing was because of Missouri. They could have had Clemson or Florida St but went with Missouri

You're arguing with a troll that claims to be a Texas fan. Why would he be here if his team was exiting Big 12?

Full world saw how they behaved. Sad for a senior military school
They aren’t a general or even an officer in the SEC. Follow the chain of command and don’t ask questions

I'm convinced now they were threatened. Florida ABSOLUTELY used the one state one team understanding to keep FSU out. "They could have had Clemson or Florida State but went with Missouri" Are you serious? Not questioning your veracity but read what you just said tell me how any conference would choose Missouri over those two, please.

SEC network
New markets. Already had the TVs in those states

This expansion is based on streaming. Different era.
Based on ESPN getting money on the best conference in every sport.

People created narratives on message boards that might not be all the way true.

I don't use data from message boards. I barely trust most newspaper articles. I don't have a dog in this fight, but UT screwed A&M again! I don't feel sorry for A&M because I don't care, You are mistaken about the reason for the one state, one team adoption. It was more like "How to we prevent another Villanova or Mississippi State from getting in?"

Yeah I read that book too
They make a lot of money selling bird dogs there.
Delmar Smith was definitely the best. Even trained dogs for the English royal family.
There are numerous others around there that don’t have his credentials.
You go there for bird dogs and then go to Louisiana for hunting dogs.

One has to wonder why WVU doesn't flaunt that 1922 national title in their new and improved football center.

Thinking it's because it never happened.

As for me, hoping the old bastard eventually sees WVU win a significant title in something before he croaks. I would like the old guy, but he calls Trump supporters commies on his Facebook page, which is stupid, since they're the true commies.
