The Big 12 can add all the top mid majors it wants, but without Texas and Oklahoma, it can’t survive as a P5 conference. There’s no two programs that they can bring in that are near OU and Texas’s level.

aTm will never come around on Texas. They've got a knot in their panties about the Horns. You'd think they'd be big tough SOB's because that's the image they always want to throw around. Who else plays the Green Beret theme song so !@#$ often to prove their masculinity? But when it comes to the Horns, they just stand there and whimper something that sounds like "It isn't fair!". I am all for Tuck Fexas but at least be man enough to go do something about it if you don't like them that much and stop trying to run away from them then talk trash. /rant off
 
According to the rumor mill, the remaining big 12 teams seem to be leaning towards the death of the conference vs saving it and are looking for ways out, i.e. Texas Tech, Baylor and TCU are talking to the PAC.

I could see us entering an arms race. The PAC 12 will suck up everything they can and the B1G and ACC will do the same while trying to sure up their current make up.

Ring, Ring, Notre Dame.

This is great news.
If the Conference dissolves, then there's nobody to pay when you break the GOR.
 
Iowa State and Kansas to the B1G. Both are AAU schools. WVU most likely to join the ACC. That just leaves Okie St and KSU left holding their dicks. :dhd:

Iowa State won’t be joining the B1G.

They already have the top team in Iowa in terms of market share, adding ISU would add minimal value. They could potentially end up in the PAC 16 East

Odd thing to say in a thread where A&M is working to stop Texas dead in its tracks. That's the epitome of "doing something".

And the SEC doesn't care to flag hand signals that aren't middle fingers. Might be a deal breaker for those pussies in Austin.

Lol you might want to look up the Sooners record in Norman. After killing Auburn and Florida in the bowls I think OU can handle them at home.
 
At first, a lot of SEC fans were opposed but this move solves several headaches. I still say Texas is probably the biggest winner in this move and I will explain why below. Texas A&M, however, may not lose very much and may come out a winner in this move as well.

1. Restoring rivalries. What you effectively get is a lot of rivalries restored if the division is split East and West as proposed. The East would be mostly made up of "original" SEC Schools. Only LSU, Ole Miss, and Miss State are left in the West from the original cast and all three don't necessarily have major rivalries with anyone in the East. Alabama vs. LSU might be the lone example of a lost rivalry but it was more of a recent than historical rivalry. LSU's two biggest, end of year, rivals in Arkansas and Texas A&M are retained in the West. The Mississippi schools will be fine as long as they retain their fight against each other.

2. Texas and Texas A&M win big. Both struggled in the Big12 partially due to the over abundance of other Texas teams and lack of major matchups. Now there is only one matchup in Texas that will matter every year. Texas vs Texas A&M will become a lot like the Alabama-Auburn rivalry. There is no other Texas team in the region to compete. All of the other Texas teams will LOSE BIG as these two programs will define the state. There is enough room for both to be competitive and I don't see the Aggies going away any time soon with will benefit not just A&M but Texas as well.

Texas wins bigger than anyone. They dump the other Texas teams that competed with them for recruits and embarrassed them with defeats. They restore the game with A&M, keep Oklahoma game, restore an annual rivalry with Arkansas, and gain a rivalry game with LSU. Not to mention the possibility of games against top teams in the other division. You push out some of the smaller schools and gain big-time and historical rivalries. The SEC West is a good fit for creating new rivalries. LSU vs. Oklahoma, Arkansas vs. Oklahoma, Arkansas vs. Texas, Arkansas vs. Texas A&M, Arkansas vs. Missouri, Ole Miss vs. Missouri, etc. These games are just a good fit.

3. Money - Let's be honest this is the main reason for this move. The SEC now has the following all-time greatest CFB programs:

1. Alabama - The article has OU as #1 but I don't see how Alabama isn't #1
2. Oklahoma
7. Texas
10. Tennessee
11. LSU
12. Georgia
13. Auburn
15. Florida - They should be higher IMO
19. Arkansas
23. Texas A&M
24. Ole Miss

AP College Football Rankings: Greatest Programs Of All-Time

The AP poll is has been the most consistent ranking system over the long history of college football. What programs come out best? Here are the top programs according to a CFN formula using all the…
collegefootballnews.com collegefootballnews.com

Granted some of these programs are interchangeable but it shows you the slew of power teams that are in the league now.

4. Division Balance - I think the chance for Balance is still strong. The West loses its titan Alabama but Oklahoma is a titan. Sure, Oklahoma will need to shore up their defense but I have confidence they will start to recruit SEC talent and be a legit contender very soon. It won't be hard for Texas to rebound either. Arkansas looks like it is on the upswing, LSU is two years removed from a National Title, Texas A&M finished #4 in rankings last season and is bringing in tons of talent, the Mississippi schools have interesting coaches that have schemes that are very familiar to the Big12 newcomers.
 
I will say this though, this move is bad for CFB. Less leagues is not a good thing. Part of the fun of CFB was seeing the small teams like a Baylor or TCU make huge runs. Now those teams are related to a second tier status.
 
BREAKING NEWS

Just heard on 105.3 the fan DFW sports radio per Austin American statesman

The OU and Texas to the SEC has been in the works for about 6 months and deal is imminent as early as next week. A&M officials were purposefully left out of these discussions. Lmao

Kansas and Oklahoma State are the two most valuable programs left in the Big12. I can see the B1G grabbing Kansas but Oklahoma State is just two far away for anyone to want. The only league that makes geographical sense for them is the SEC and they now have 16 teams provided OU and Texas are really leaving.

I would say the B1G would grab Kansas State before they grab Iowa State.
