SC, when we add teams will we stay the SEC or will we become the SESDC? I really think the super duper adds a lot to the name.

How did that work out for Mark Duper?  I can't remember.

  I think you deserve one this. The Super Duper has some big words.  , RTR!

If I remember right. It worked OK for Mark Duper and Miami until they played Joe Montana and the 49ers.

Why does Texas A&M interest the SEC? 24.8 million people in Texas, that's why

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Why Texas A&M?

That question has littered my in-box from SEC fans since the latest round of expansion talk. Some readers don't get how a school without a Big 12 football title since 1998 could be so attractive and set off dominoes with conference realignment.

Fair questions. Always remember this about college sports: Television eyeballs are like oil. Conferences promise to switch to a hybrid, but pumping for more becomes too addictive.

The SEC isn't exactly hurting for money. But its 2009 deals with CBS and ESPN (average yearly value: $205 million) are now trumped by the Pac-12 ($250 million a year from Fox and ESPN), even though the SEC has won five straight national titles.

My guess that the SEC brings in 2 teams during off season.

I would think the Texas TV market is what the SEC is after. Might make recruiting better for us. RTR!

Texas A&M tells Big 12 it will explore conference options

Texas A&M has taken the next step toward leaving the Big 12 and joining the SEC.

A letter from Texas A&M president R. Bowen Loftin was delivered Thursday afternoon to Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe to inform Beebe that Texas A&M is exploring its conference options. In the letter, Loftin asked Beebe to outline the procedures required should the Aggies decide to leave the conference.

"If Texas A&M withdraws from the Conference, we want to do so in a way that complies with the Bylaws and is supportive of your efforts to seek a new member of the Conference," Loftin wrote in the letter. "We would appreciate your conferring with the other member institutions and outlining for us the process to be followed by Texas A&M should it withdraw from the Conference."

Texas A&M officially tells Big 12 it is exploring all conference options.

Published: Thursday, August 25, 2011, 10:19 PM     Updated: Thursday, August 25, 2011, 10:24 PM

Texas A&M took another step toward leaving the Big 12 on Thursday, formally telling the conference it was exploring all its options.

Less than a week after publicly expressing interest in joining the SEC, Texas A&M President R. Bowen Loftin said in a letter to conference Commissioner Dan Beebe that it shouldn't be considered notice that the Aggies have already decided to leave.

"As I have indicated previously, we are working very deliberately to act in the best long-term interests of both Texas A&M and the State of Texas," Loftin said in a statement released by the university. "This truly is a 100-year decision. While we understand the desire of all parties to quickly reach a resolution, these are extremely complex issues that we are addressing methodically."

scarbooger wrote some crap on it today that I didnt read.  It's AboogerL.com.

[Coach Hank Crisp]

I never read scab. I won't even click on it if I know he wrote it. Each time people read his or other writers articles, the newspapers pay them incentives.

[ricky023]

I have to pray for Scarbinsky but I will not read his articles. RTR!

Does anyone know if a league is allowed to have a league playoff? With all this super conference talk going around, I just thought it would be cool to have the top 2 seeds from each division in a playoff type scenario. Maybe #1 West vs #2 East and vice versa in first round play and winners meet at the Dome. I know it will probably never happen, but it would be cool with a 16 team SEC and all the talent in it. Btw, go back a couple years and play out that scenario and you get some really awesome games.

I am hoping we will get to that eventually.  I don't know if the current rules would allow for it or not, but once the conferences start to get bigger maybe they will change it.

The current NCAA football rules allow a conference with 12 or more members to have a championship game. Playoffs are not allowed at this time.
