Is it just my SEC eyes or will Texas be part of the two biggest P4/P5 rivalries ever? UT/ou, UT/aggy>>>>> tosu/UM, Bama/Auburn?
OU/UT is on par with tOSU/UM

So yes, it's just you. You're scuffle with the aggies isn't on that level.

So if/when this happens, does the BIG counter with Notre Dame/USC coming to its conference to try n keep pace financially?

I'd think ND's phone's been ringing off the hook from North, South, East, and West

Kevin Warren needs to send a Michigan delegation over to South Bend to give blowjobs stat!!!
 
Personally, I'd like to see this happen. The NCAA FBS needs a GOOD 'shakin' up and THIS would certainly fit the bill. :heh:

I certainly don't blame Oklahoma/Texas for wanting to do this. Sure, there's the behind-the-scenes politics and money-grab behind this along with some collateral damage too. So, what's new? :nod:

But... Why Not? It's not like they don't bring anything to the table at SEC. Let's see what happens.

There's just a lot of 'butt hurt' going on right now and there's gonna be an even BIGGER 'butt-hurt' if/when this finally takes place.

So, for me... IF it actually happens, I'm gonna sit back and watch the moaning. groaning and gnashing of teeth in the Big12. :drink:

Gonna be very interesting over the next week or so... :rolleyes2:

I'm glad it happened too. Along with NIL and expanded playoffs, shit needs to come down sooner rather than later.

My questions doesn't involve the Big 12 schools. What I'm wondering is what the other four P5s are going to do if that per school amount does go to $75-80 million/year for each SEC school? The revenue gap is going to grow significantly. Other than Notre Dame, who are the other four conferences going to bring on that can generate enough revenue to close that gap?

This Exactly
 
Of course OU is going to lose more games in the SEC than it does in the Big XII. And the conference championships will come less often. But the playoffs are going to be easier for OU to get into now (12 teams instead of 4 teams and no need to run the table) and that's going to give Oklahoma a puncher's chance to win NC's. Our recruiting will get even better and the money will be rolling in. Gotta expect the occasional loss when you're running a gauntlet instead of a Big XII schedule. It's all good. Also looking forward to seeing how all the existing SEC schools do against Oklahoma and Texas when we're all playing each other on a consistent basis.

You had the occasional loss when you were in the Big 12. It's probably going to happen more now.

It will be interesting to see how your fan base reacts when you go from conference champion every year to 10 wins is a good season with a shot at a conference title twice a decade.

Plus, and I'm not trolling but trying to think this through-how does this impact Riley? He went from a perfect situation to one where if you start losing games to one where he gets on the hot seat quick. This time last week you guys compared him to Stoops but when it's official the knuckle draggers in the fan base are going to judge him by how he does against Saban. Personally I think you guys should annoit him coach for life but he just received some unrealistic expectations. How long before he says screw this and goes to the NFL. You caught lightning in a bottle twice now and the odds of it happening a third time are beyond rare. You Schnellenburger and Blake back to back fail and the risk is you become Tennessee. The downside is you sit on a pile of money that keeps softball on top but this was a risky move.

The Big 10 should be fine, albeit I'm concerned Kevin Warren is gonna fuck it up.

Top 10 Bluebloods by winning %

Big 10: #1 Ohio St, #4 Michigan, #8 Penn St, #9 Nebraska
SEC: #2 Alabama, #5 Oklahoma, #6 Texas #10 Tennessee
PAC: #7 USC
IND: #3 Notre Dame
ACC: None

However, this is where it gets interesting........

SEC: #12 Georgia, #13 LSU, #14 Florida, #15 Auburn

If the CFP expands to 12 teams then the bar changes to "Just make the Play-offs and you're safe".

You could lose 3 games and still make a 12 team play-off.

In theory right now, just make a NY6 bowl and you're safe.

Yeah... That's gonna be the BIG dilemma, isn't it? BUT we've ALWAYS had the "haves/have nots" issue in college sports right along with society itself. But the NIL stuff isn't going to help matters any, either.

The other P5s are just gonna have to put their "Big Boy' pants on and go to work to make things happen with what they get (or have), just like they have to do in the real world.

It's gonna be VERY Interesting to watch as it "pans out"... :nod:

It will be at least a decade before Texas can catch up to the strength of the SEC.
 
...speaking of cock power, how's about mr turkeyeagleplainsmantigertrees sit the fuck down and quit flapping his cockholster. Awwbern really shouldn't be attempting to dictate jack fucking shit. We'll take this cute little wagon with these cute little ponies and trample your birds, plains, tigers, trees, sheepwives or what have you until there's nothing left but a stain.

...bish.

Yeah we are going to need you to change your attitude or fandom to a team outside the league if this behavior continues.

Than you
 
With that too, if OU and another B12 school leave but Tejas remain is that enough juice to still be considered a P5 league? Considering the B12 would have to add 2 more teams minimum and they would all likely be G5’ers.
 
...they were allowed to vote separately on Oklahoma and/or Texas joining the SEC? If they both got in, that would be it. But if one team was rejected, then it wouldn't be that hard to approach another school to round out the membership.

Do you think the ability to vote on them separately instead of as package deal would change anything?
A better question is if the Texas legislature successfully blocks Texas from leaving the Big 12 would the SEC still take Oklahoma? The answer is yes.

The unbalance would be fixed as teams would line up to be invited to the SEC. It would screw Texas though because they can’t carry a whole conference by themselves.
