(NEW) Aggie rumors of going to the SEC

[BrntO4Life]

Provided the Big 12 was around.

I think in an ideal world, they're in the Big 12, if the Big 12 were still around.

But even if the Big 12 was around, they wouldn't ask TCU to join. It does nothing to improve their television footprint.

 

[NAHSTE]

Because a lot has changed from the SWC days.

There's pretty much a mutual agreement between Texas and the SEC that it's never going to happen. Ever. Texas doesn't see it as a cultural fit, so they won't bother.

Academics are playing a much bigger role than a lot of people realize. Schools with high rankings aren't going to align themselves with other schools who don't have to play by their standards.

:yao:


Delusional fan is delusional. No big time football programs have standards. But yeah I don't think Texas is a fit either. They are not even fun to dislike.

 

[BrntO4Life]

Well that's fine, but I'm suggesting TCU join the SEC. I thought UT was going independent?

TCU has a burgeoning academic reputation. I don't think they want to cut that off.

Texas were the ones who pointed the NCAA towards Lyles. They don't play the street agent game, plain and simple.

Whether or not that means they're completely clean, I don't care. They've made a point of not playing a game that a number of SECs schools have been eager to play (basically out in the open, too).

 

[Sharkweather]

Not adding much, but Clemson makes the most sense and fits the most. I was actually pretty excited for the upcoming UGA/Clemson OOC home-and-home, so just add them and lets play it every year.

Sorry USC, 20 years doesn't quite buy you seniority.

 

[G-men]

There will be three 16-team conferences within ten years, and that's fact.

 

[FirstTimer]

Reporting now on ESPN that F$U, Clemson, and Mizzou may join the SEC as well.

 

[Chrispy]

yeah just got a news text, Texas A&M to SEC, Clemson, Florida St. and Clemson alslo likely to join

WOW

 

[FirstTimer]

This is all fucking stupid. Super conferences=the lamez

 

[Sharkweather]

An SEC team will never play a tough OOC game again. This is gonna be nuts.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

They are going to have to play some teams like every three years.

Ridiculous.

 

[RyanLeaf16]

Beginning of Super Conferences and the next issue will now be a playoff system. Its the new landscape of college football.

 

[Rayman]

Wow. The ACC is gonna have to absorb the Big East just to survive.

 

[JayDizzle]

The last two people who didn't think College Football was a business just threw their hands up in disgust.

 

[FirstTimer]

I say again.

Fuck all this.

Give me the 1990's set up with a playoff or the old Bowl Alliance system.

The ripple effect of this will be very interesting. If Mizzou, Clemson and FSU do indeed leave.. suddenly the Big XII is down to 8 schools. They'd have to lose AQ status you'd believe. Although with Texas and OU in the mix, who knows if that'd be the case. If the ACC lost Clemson and FSU the football side of that conference takes a sizable blow and they're back down to 10 schools. I figure that C-USA would be the next conference to be raided with the likes of Houston, SMU, Tulsa, Memphis, UTEP, UCF all likely to be targeted .. then where does that leave the leftovers of that conference? It's crazy how one school leaving could start another chain reaction similar to what we had go down last year when Colorado and Nebraska left the Big 12.

This is going to slowly start to phase out the mid-major conferences IMO. What few programs with notoriety on the football side of things will soon by snatched up by these so called power conferences.

Houston and SMU to the Big XII?

 

[NAHSTE]

Mizzou says they won't go to the SEC, which is comforting. I'm still bummed they were even targeted. I say just add GT, Clemson and FSU if you want to add 4 teams.

Maybe Emmert can pass a rule that says a conference cannot add a member that does not play in an adjacent state? Though technically Mizzou would still be allowed to enter the SEC due to that, it'd at least discourage further TCU in the Big East like nonsense.

Apparently the report is UNC as the fourth team now.

Ballsy. I see the logic but I doubt/hope not that any of the 4 NC teams leave the ACC. They are that conference. Will be interesting to see if that rich Memphis booster tries to buy his way into this one.

But this could potentially be a harbinger of death for modern college football.
