Would Texas be willing to give up the Longhorn Network to join? Also it doesn't sound like A&M would be for this just judging by Bdork's comments.
Well....it SURE wouldn't be good for us!!
Texas, Oklahoma, & the Big12, would all be "done", IMO...
Doesn't pass the smell test to me
I'm assuming they would join the West and Bama and Auburn would move to the East? We might move to the East to even it out. Or we would just have one Division with 16 teams and play 15 games in a regular season.
DO NOT WANT UT at all!!! They would attempt to run everything to only their benefit and consider everyone else as peons. This would be a disaster, they are the reason that the Big 12 is failing and a large part of the reason that the SWC failed. TOO much EGO, think Bama steroid overdose.
Geographically they would probably put them in the West, move Missouri to the West, and Alabama and Auburn to the East.
There would then be no pressing need for permanent opponents, so we'd probably have a 7/2 rotational model.
Or we could just have 3 permanent and 6 rotating opponents in 1 table
If you add Oklahoma and Texas to the west and take Alabama and Auburn out, you would still only have 7 teams in the west. To balance, I could see Missouri switching to the west in your scenario.
Or the SEC could go to four 4 team divisions. I think that has been discussed before.
MHO is Texas will not give up the longhorn tv deal, period.
No way they would come to the SEC where they would be losing 2 - 3 games a year.
Based on what I'm seeing, I think TX and OK have indeed reached out and are talking to us.
I'm all for adding the University of Texas at Arlington and the University of Central Oklahoma to the SEC West.
I want the SEC West easier, not harder.
Two of the worst fan bases in all of sports - this would ruin it for me
I have to put up with these people on the daily and could not stand to hear about them in our conference
If Texas joins,can our players do horns down or will the SEC cave like the Big 12 and make that illegal?
Never gonna happen... Oklahoma state Legislature would never sign off on it ... it state law there that U of Oklahoma and Okie State MUST play in the same conference
