Texas only allowed to join the SEC if they sign a binding agreement acknowledging that Tennessee is the one and only authentic „UT“. Tired of those young upstarts trying to steal our moniker

Texas will be humble for a day and then start swinging it. Hide and watch.

If you swing it but nobody pays any attention, did it really swing?

That will be Texas going forward, if they try that crap in the SEC. :)

They're going from one of two big fish in a little pond, to just a medium size fish in the ocean if this happens.

For the present. They don't call it the rust belt for nothing. The future is in the south.

I agree. That's why I think the B1G will wait and poach teams either in the West (pac schools) and/or ACC. But the B1G teams won't leave for the SEC or vice versa because money is good and both conferences take great pride in their identity.

On these schools I feel extremely comfortable making this claim. Will happily admit to being wrong if it happens. Been wrong before, will be again. But the B1G schools aren't leaving, just like SEC aren't. Everyone else either is or will be up for grabs.

I'm talking about $$$ more than results. They have way more than anyone else and money talks.

Yes, they do have more $$, you are right.

Not tons more, but they still lead the earnings reports every year. Ohio State and Bama within sneezing distance of them. But I don' know how war chests compare.

I wonder if Texas joining the SEC would cause us to wear our orange pants more often (especially on the road) for a more distinctive look from the other orange & white team. We have the best shade of orange in the country, so I am ALL for more of the orange britches.

A brief history of the Southeastern Conference

Formation of the SEC
Back in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Southern Conference was the dominant force in college athletics, taking over the the Southern Interscholastic Athletic Association in that regard. It was a swollen behemoth of a conference, home to 23 schools across 10 states. More than half of the schools in the conference were soon-to-be members of the Southeastern Conference.


History repeating itself?

The only difference is the money. They couldn’t keep everyone happy back then and they won’t be able to do it now.

GBO!!!
