A&M to Big 10 rumor

[dobre_shunka]

Not sure of the reliability of the source but given the fit A&M threw when Texas joined the SEC, it could be possible.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

They want out of the SEC. They have realized they are not going to win.

I don’t believe it for a second but if true maybe they can take their big brother and Mizzu with them.

We need to rename our conference. The southeastern conference no longer applies with texas and oklahoma joining.

Wrong

 

[ENGRVOL]

The appeal of playing Northwestern and Rutgers with Gary Danielson providing commentary I guess is too much to pass up for them

It no longer applied when we let Mizzou in.

 

[ArmchairQB]

I kind of like A&M. If they went though I’d pivot immediately to ragging on the B1G for taking the lesser Texas brand, and then we’d just invite/take one more ACC team when that domino inevitably falls, so we still wind up with an even number of teams.

Afraid of Big Brother!?

 

[livefaith]

This whole "conference" thing is sure going to be put to rest eventually.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

They might be too much of a cult for the B1G

I saw a podcast last week that had 7 10 team divisions from the CFP meetings. Each of the 7 were divided by geographical region.

Guess what? The 7 looked very similar to the old PAC 10, Big 8, Southwest Conference, Big 10, SEC & ACC. It would be so ridiculous that we end up right back where it all started.

It would be nice, but tv execs will never go for it.

 

[stolitonic]

As long as they take Misery with them, I have no issues with this.

Just take a flamethrower to that entire 2012 expansion. Nothing of value was gained.

In the end though, B10 will end up with one of the other Texas schools. The Aggies run again, the Shorthorns will never let them live it down.

[zooguy]

They’ve been saying that same stupid rumor for a year now. Ain’t happening.

Afraid of Big Brother!?

Not so much a fear as loathing. They couldn't wait to get away from Texas. The horns were entitled and always catered to and got preferential treatment. The SEC will grow to hate them just as much in time. Hey, I lived in Norman long enough to learn everything I needed to about Texas. Letting them join this conference will be seen in a far different light in time. Wouldn't blame aTm one bit if they made that move. They know what's coming.

Not so much afraid as knowing what it's like to have to put up with them.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

I could see B1G going for TCU more likely than A&M

 

[give_him 6]

I believe this one to be true. I don't believe for a minute that A&M is ok with that school from Austin joining the conference. I live in Big 12 country and letting that school from Austin into the conference was a mistake.

How about instead of renaming OUR conference... we simply kick out all those not IN the Southeast?

I would actually like it. I had postulated here and a couple of other places that that's where we'd end up at the end. The conferences that are this big are too unwieldy.

 

[vols 30]

A&M is just looking for higher NIL money

Until Saban bolted, I thought bama could be a sufficient check and balance. With him gone, it's easier for Texas to throw their considerable weight around in this conference. And no, UGA and OU won't be on a par with a Saban led bama. The camel done got his nose under the tent on this one.

Pretty easy. Name it the South Eastern Conference lol
