I can understand why some MSU fans would be in favor of this proposal. However, there is no way to get Ole Miss or any of its fans on board.

They are currently ranked number five in the nation and absent an unanticipated collapse will make the playoffs. They are raking in tons of cash. Why would they want to share it?

OM is in line to be a member of the next super conference should it materialize. What could it possibly gain by a merger?
