Texas A&M will vote for SEC Expansion...expect it to be 14-0 Tomorrow for Texas & Oklahoma to the SEC
- Thread starter The Public Enemy
- Start date
It was obvious that's what they were trying to do. BIG12 commish is now claiming proof that ESPN tried to get one of the eight remaining conference members to leave for the AAC, essentially alleging that ESPN committed tortious interference. So, from the sounds of it, they are determined to stick together, and make TX/OU/ESPN pay.

Here is a pretty detailed write up about why none of the three will really care.
A 16-team SEC would need at least $134 million more central revenue annually
For the SEC to keep its projected per-school distributions ($66.9 million from 2024-25 on) with 16 teams, ESPN would have to pay it more.

ESPN doesn't care about the $1 billion they have left on their BIG12 minus TX and OU contract? Interesting take.
^^The answer is yes. Doesn't really matter how much TX and OU increase SEC distributions. BIG12 imploding would cut their losses, stick it to a competitor (FOX owns the other half of BIG12 contract) and make their exclusive AAC deal more valuable. So of course they care lol. Probably wouldn't be a story if they didn't. That and they're being accused of tortious interference by a conference commissioner.

Somebody's wallet just got thicker. At least the Texas/ Tamu rivalry will be restored. Too bad Mizzou won't get to beat the snot out of KU.
