Here is our ideal Pod set up:

Oklahoma, Texas, A&M, and LSU

Missouri, UArk, OM, MSU

Bama, Auburn, Florida, Tenn

Kentucky, UGA , Vandy, USCe.

Don't forget the NIL is already going to make it harder for us to be competitive in football. This, like mentioned above, makes us more appealing than the schools (non-SEC) we will be competing with for players.

I bet they don't put TAMU with OK and Texas.

I wish this is how they'd do it but we aren't that lucky.

I imagine
Ok Texas Missouri then Arkansas/LSU.
TAMU OM MSU then LSU/ark.
The rest as above

I disagree, we aren't beating TX and OU our for most guys right now, but we also don't always beat out the Kansas St's and Ok St's...We will now.....This is good for us.....

So you're saying recruited over guys that used to end up at K-St and OK State will now look at us? I don't see why that would happen, and even if it did, how much benefit we'd get from it. There is Mizzou and Arky to quickly gobble those kids up.

We?re not good in football anyway, and realistically will never be a contender so I don?t think this is that bad. It could really help us as well if we go to the pods and end up in a pod with something like ole miss, arky, and one other. We could still go 7-5 every year, bowl games, not play Alabama every year. Take the extra money and throw it all into baseball and keep winning nattys there

Giving up in football would be disastrous. I'm mean, I've thought about it at times when we were really down, but it's not an option from a financial standpoint, unless we're stupid..

Can you imagine telling your wife you're leaving her and then living in the house for 3 more years? or
telling your employer 17U and then expect to stick around another 3 years?

Wonder if horns down will still be a penalty this year.
