*** Official Super Conference Thread ***

Don't forget about Missouri, I think they want out of the Big 12. I'm guessing that two teams from the Big 12 come to the SEC first and whos to say what will happen to Oklahoma and Okie State when the ball gets to rolling.

I agree with some of the above statements in liking the way the SEC is but let's face it, something has got to change or college football is in trouble. If there are going to be major changes then the SEC needs to be the frontrunner and get who they want, not what's left.

Absolutely agree. I am not huge supporter of expansion myself, but if it is going to happen eventually it is best that the SEC gets out in front has first pick of those programs that could help the conference get stronger and not just add teams to be adding teams.

On the bottom of the screen on ESPN it also said Mizz. Clemson, and FSU is a possibility. RTR!

I just don't think super conferences are the way to go. It all turns into a situation of greed IMO. If Texas is getting the lion's share of the revenue in the Big 12, then that tells me that the other teams aren't that great of a draw. If that's true, how will those teams jumping conferences benefit the SEC?

There will be so many questions about this. It will get huge about positives and negatives. We certainly will be discussing this for weeks to come. I believe we are going to a 16 team conference. RTR!

Since everything seems to be dollar driven Missouri would be a good choice. They bring the St Louis and Kansas City market. I think VA Tech will get a look as well with the VA market.

Strickly football related I would prefer A&M, Oklahoma, FL St and Miami/Clemson.

Appears that the wheels are in motion toward a Super Conference. TAMU and Mizzou in the west, FSU and Clemson in the east.

Exactly what I was thinking. Money, money, money. RTR!

Texas A&M intent on bolting for SEC - ESPN

Texas A&M intends to move from the Big 12 to the Southeastern Conference, where they hope to begin play in 2012, school officials have said.

The official told The Times that Texas A&M president R. Bowen Loftin called SEC commissioner Mike Slive three weeks ago and said the Aggies regretted not leaving the Big 12 for the SEC last summer. A week later, Slive and SEC lawyers met with A&M officials, when the league requested that the school work out the possible legal ramifications surrounding its contract with the Big 12, the report said.

We don't need any part of Miami, they have the worst fans in football and the worst place to go to.
