Thoughts on Oklahoma/Texas/SEC rumors?

[lstephen]

Any possibility this happens?  For or against?

I don't see it being a good idea.  Still, if I were the SEC Commissioner, I'd work the negotiations with due diligence to see what fell out.

If it happens, and the two division organization is left in tact, it would make sense for Alabama and Auburn to move to the SEC East.  Ideally you'd want to move Missouri to the West, but that would mean splitting out on of the Mississippi schools into the East as well.

Texas must be a glutton for punishment. They already suck in the Big 12 and now they want to come to the SEC? Bwaaahaaahaaa!!!!!!!!!!

I think the 2 schools will lose a lot of playoff chances playing an SEC schedule every year. I guess their biggest thought is the money from the SEC affiliations. I call it good for the SEC but bad for the rest of the country.RTR!

I agree.  And with the shift of Bama, Barn and one of the Mississippi schools moving to the east, the domination of the SEC would also shift to the east.  Primarily because of just one school moving.  Anybody want to guess which school I'm talking about?

We say that, Ricky, but the Big10 actually leads conference revenue sharing to schools.   Their payout was about $10M per school more than the SEC recently.   (And yes, I know TX and OK aren't in the Big10, just saying the SEC doesn't have the money dominance that we all assume at times)

Moreover, TX may be the richest public school in the country.   Their endowment stands at over $30 billion, whereas the University of Alabama is about $1.5 billion.

A few years ago the UTex system purchased $2Bil in physical gold, which was the largest physical gold purchase in history, I believe.

They're a sleeping giant, I assure you.

I'd say Alabama, Georgia and Florida vs TX, Oklahoma and LSU would be pretty nasty competition most years.

It more than likely will happen...can you spell G-R-E-E-D...it is all about the Bucks...CFB is slowly loosing it's identity...I personally am sad to see these things take place.

Well we know for sure if OK and Tex want to come into a conference where they will lose more games it has to be about money. RTR!

There are also reports that the SEC has talked to Ohio State, Michigan, Clemson, and Florida State in attempt to form a 20-team conference.
