Biggest Realignment move

With the addition of UMass, I wonder if the MAC will stick at 13 or will they look for a 14th member?.

They should go to 14 and try to capture the northeast market and bring in UConn. And that would help the travel for these two teams. Win win

I'll hold the door open for them.

I don't really belive that.
However, their last Conference Championship was in the Big 12 almost 30 years ago, in 1998.

That has to put a strain on their self image.

Didn't know they had one.
But y'all been with'em far longer then we'uns been with'em, so y'all should know more about it.

You need to look at a map.

Missouri borders Tenn, Ky and Arkansas so the SEC put them in the East with Tenn, Vandy, KY and made Arkansas their permanent opponent. It made perfect sense.

Auburn when we first split into divisions did not make sense in the west. Auburn's biggest rivals were UT, UF, UGA and Bama plus we played Vandy pretty frequently. We rarely played Ole Miss and LSU.

Alabama made the most sense (Though Auburn would have worked as well, maybe even better tbh) though. Rival game with UT, Florida and UGA would have been great games with em as well. Missouri is simply too dagum far west to be considered an “eastern” school/team, just… no.
They would have been a better fit in the BIG culturally as well.

Your B1G argument is solid but where Missouri should have been in the SEC really isn’t because it would have been more travel for them.

It is what it is.
 
@Wild Turkey gonna like this angle I think, he wants the hoops elevated.. UNC and Kansas would do that, not to mention the border rivalries with SCar and Mizzu.

UConn might go for football only. There's zero chance they're bringing their basketball team to the MAC.

Had to look back to see what the comment was about. I remember making the post wondering if I should use the green font or not. Prolly shoulda used the green font.

Kansas to the SEC would be the funniest possible culture mismatch.

UConn will accept nothing but an invite to a power conference for both their football and basketball team. It's the basic reason UConn isn't in the Big 12 right now, besides their football being awful. There is no obvious way out of that for UConn.

Edit: Ah, so it was sarcasm then...

The next time Greg Swaim is right, it'll be his first. I almost hate to type this, but I doubt he will see his first time being right ... he's dying and is in hospice. Even that hasn't slowed him down being wrong.
 
If Kansas' value is good enough for the SEC to grab, then expect them to go to the Big 10 because they would also be seeing said value.

It would be a better fit for Kansas.
