Texas A&M President Statement on SEC Expansion

I take this as them stamping on the “A&M might leave SEC” stories.
 
If TAMU plays their cards right with Texas they could have one of those must watch rivalries every season. Huge ratings. And currently they're in the drivers' seat as far as actually being good at football.

There's absolutely no reason they should back down from that challenge. They have a lot to gain in this too. Texas is big enough to feed both of those programs with enough talent.
 
Expansion along with the NIL will damage UK football and eventually basketball due to uneven resources but the college game will become like pro ball- fans will watch. Ky is a poor state compared to most.

BBN will become watered down.

UK will become a small market team like the Bengals.

Louisville has a fighting chance with its national businesses like Yum UPS Papa John’s etc.

Hoping the college presidents and ADs reorganize the whole deal otherwise Congress will have to enact some caps.
It is supposed to be amateur athletics.

But like Vandy & Bengals now, they'll be wealthy.

UK has always been a "small market" team. That's why they've gotten the shaft from the networks more often than not.

It WAS about amateur athletics. At least until people started getting paid to play video games and cornhole. Now everyone wants to get paid for everything

YUM, UPS and Papa John's realize Kentucky has mores support in Louisville than U of L does! So, doubt U of L would be in better shape than UK.

Go Big Blue!

Kinda odd since UC has way more support there than OSU. Maybe 60/20/20 UC/tosu/UK.

I'd guess NKy as 70/15/12/3 UK/UC/LV/tosu.

You’re talking about the city of Cincinnati as 60/20/20?

Unless you’re talking about Hamilton County only. Greater Cincinnati and areas between Dayton has much more than a 20% Kentucky lean.
