I don't completely grasp the opposition to this growth other than dislike of change. The college sports landscape is 100% revenue driven these days. Texas is a grandslam addition and OU seems to be a package deal with them. If the SEC doesn't add them then the Big 10 or Pac 12 will and that will not benefit the SEC.
Lead ,follow or get out of the way. Happy to see SEC taking the lead here.
True that but we are improving each year. As the old saying goes to be the best you have to beat the best. A loaded SEC is a great recruiting tool for Stoops and Company like it has been since they got here.how about a ridiculously stacked football league? One we are trying to win and this would make it much much more difficult.
Shying away from competition is never a good thing. It will make it tougher in football, no doubt, but I say bring it on. I love it for basketball.how about a ridiculously stacked football league? One we are trying to win and this would make it much much more difficult.
We need to add a team from NC and Virginia. Even things out. As it stands, we're going to become the Southeastern and slightly Midwestern conferenceThe day we start adding northern teams to the SEC is the day you can say goodbye to this momentum we’ve built.
Plus, the number of power programs we play in the league each year would probably not change after all is said and done unless we lose lower teams because of this or we cut out the OOC schedule and just play in conference teams.True that but we are improving each year.

I agree. We want to be good. How good are you if you rarely beat anybody that's really good ??True that but we are improving each year.

Missouri is already further north than UK.I’d rather have Clemson, FSU, North Carolina and UVA than Ohio State and Michigan!!
UK should fight to be the northern-most team in the SEC!!!!

Add them if A&M bolts which I doubt because of $$$$ add a West Virginia.
Michigan and O Hi state in the SEC, it’s sickening 🍺
I’ll respectfully disagree with the last paragraph,
Surely if we can wrangle Texas and Oklahoma, our “leaders” would have the common damn sense to focus on valuable teams south of the Mason-Dixon Line, and not cross the Ohio River.
My God, if that came to pass they would “pod” Kentucky with Michigan, Ohio State, Mizzou and likely UT and Vandy.
I hope to God our “leaders” have a tad greater sense of history and culture than to make this error.
Hell, if this is a possibility, Kentucky and UT and Mizzou would make as much sense and almost as much money just going to the B1G, and there is no desire for that to happen, unless the SEC essentially “pods” us into what will really be the B1G “pod” of the new conference.
To Hell with either idea.

tOSU fans would never in a million years be ok with joining the Southeastern Conference. And they would not be alone. The B10 members have a lot of pride in the history of that conference and their teams. They would not be willing to trash all of that to become a member of a conference that is not even their region or connection with.
Texas is geographically part of the south, Oklahoma is sort of like Missouri, it boarders the south and identifies with the south in many regards. Those are logical fits, tOSU or any other B10 team would not be.
Boise or they could try to poach Colorado and Utah out of the P12. Better geographical fit IMO.I agree with you, I just can't see them fitting in with the south or us with them, can't trush anyone who doesn't drink sweet tea.
It's clear OU and Texas are out of the Big12 and SEC bound. First thing they have to do is convince the remaining schools to stay and give the conference a chance to pull in more teams. Very unlikely they can get any P5 teams to come, here are some schools I think would be open to joining, BYU is a national brand with a huge following, Louisiana Laf, Liberty, Coastal Carolina, UCF, Cincy, Memphis. But then you have to question if they are still a P5 conference. Truth is it will probably be stronger and deeper than the Pac12.
But all speculation on my part, a week ago I would have called BS on Texas and OU to the SEC.
I wouldnt want to see Cinncy's name come up.
We are the northeastern-most school in the SEC.

You are not 🍺 sorry
Colorado leaving the PAC to return to the Big 12 when the Big 12 might be sinking is unlikely. More likely that the PAC tries to poach from the remainder of the Big 12.Boise or they could try to poach Colorado and Utah out of the P12. Better geographical fit IMO.
True, but that is a poor fit in many ways.
You are not 🍺 sorry
I dont know about the fit, but I think they jump on an offer.
I’m sure they would, but your posts are the only place I’ve heard their name associated with the SEC.
I would think Georgia Tech would
earn an invite back in if the SEC wanted an urban school.

Rather take Clemson and Florida St.
Or change the SEC name.
