*** Official Super Conference Thread ***

[BAMAWV]

Right about the time the SEC has the college football world begging for mercy and green with envy, someone wants to change the formula???

 

I'm fine with leaving things exactly like they are right now.  But the other conferences are scrambling to catch up and even pass us.  If we stand still it makes it easier for them.  I would hate for some other conference to be the first super conference.  We were the first with 12 teams and a championship game.  I think we should be the first with 16 teams.  JMHO.

If they are dead set on changing something in the middle of a 5 NC run, drop 2 teams (the barn and tennessee) and add OU and ATM.

of a new era of college football. As I turned on the TV tonight, Rick Karle stated that FSU and VA Tech had voiced some interest in joining the SEC. There are quite a few teams with interest in the SEC and what does that mean with all of this happening.

Could we be headed toward something that would create a playoff for the national championship? Somehow I get the feeling that there will be other conferences adding more teams and who knows, there may be only 10-12 conferences what all is said and done. If this happened then there would be a chance for a playoff system.

The NCAA needs a change and I feel they don't know which way to go to make college football better. Do you think Slive is going to open a can of worms when the SEC adds more teams, I do. The SEC is the King of the conferences and the others aren't going to let them have it all.

J, either that or the SEC could end up with 48 teams.

Aggies out, UH in for the Big 12?
Posted on 08/12/2011 by Brent Zwerneman


COLLEGE STATION – Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe has told Texas A&M that Texas holds the key to the long-term future of the Big 12, and that the Big 12 would survive without the Aggies, according to an A&M official.

The Big 12 also believes the University of Houston would be a viable candidate to replace the Aggies, the A&M official said. All signs point to the Aggies bolting the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference. The A&M regents are meeting on Aug. 22 and an announcement about the SEC might follow soon after.

I think the SEC is happy where they are now. However, they are aware of the changing landscape of the major conferences. The SEC needs to stay one step ahead of the competition. It looks like the era of "super conferences" is not too far away.

This is the begging of 4 "Super conf's. It will take a long time. But that's what will happen.

That will lead to the play offs.

A&M calls for Monday regents meeting to talk ‘conference alignment’

COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M has called for a board of regents meeting for 3 p.m. Monday to discuss “conference affiliation,” according to an A&M official. The Aggies are expected to declare soon after their intentions of leaving the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference.

Item 15 of the regents agenda states: “Authorization for the President to Take All Actions Relating to Texas A&M University’s Athletic Conference Alignment, The Texas A&M University System.”

An A&M official said earlier Friday that Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe had told A&M that the league would survive without the Aggies, and that Texas holds the key to the future of the Big 12. The A&M official also said the Big 12 believes Houston is a viable option to replace the Aggies.

> Unhappy UT fan? Who is gonna vote for Texas to be in BCS after they win against TT, UTEP, UTSA, Houston and Texas State?

From comment section of article:

If Aggies leaves the state of Texas, does anyone miss them? No. Goodbye. This just opens up the slots for UTSA and Texas State to become the Nos. 3 and 4 schools in the state. May the Lord have mercy on Alabama fans having to look at male cheerleaders and a band that can only march in squares.

You might want to keep an eye peeled for snipers in the clocktower. Logistically/geographically ridiculous. A five hour drive from Baton Rouge if you hit the Houston traffic just right.

Rick Karle is an idiot.

Not much to do at College Station. A 5 hr. road trip will be like a Disney World ride for them.

I would like to speak of protectionism, isolationism, and comparitive advantage but it might offend someone's sensibilities.

Not so fast.

Florida State University President Eric Barron said Friday he's heard the rumors that the Seminoles are moving to the Southeastern Conference and said that's all they are at the moment - rumors.

SEC presidents reportedly to meet Sunday according to this aTm site:  Click here for link

And here is the scud missile I’ve been expecting from Texas A&M and referenced a couple of hours ago:  TAMU is now posting a Boards of Regents meeting for Monday (such meetings have to be posted 72 hours prior).  Here's the link to that meeting:  Click here for link  Tie that in with the fact that the SEC presidents are meeting on Sunday and you have the accelerated timeline that I’ve been hinting at.

I think the Longhorn Network was the straw that broke the camels back for A&M. Of course, everyone thought Notre Dame being on NBC every week would help them in recruiting and that hit a brick wall with the awful play of ND over the past years.
