I know lots of folks are watching the changes in conferences/alignment… and whether or not our Conference should pick up some new members to “keep up” with the changes.

As for me, I’ll always be a VFL whatever happens. But, if the conference wants to expand more to keep up then I really do think all of the conferences should just go ahead and immediately fire all of the conference administrate staff now (to include Sankey and everyone on SEC conference staff) as they are all just unnecessarily diluting the payoff to each of the schools. There could easily be a singular staff to arrange media rights for those universities that actually attract viewers (thankfully UT is part of this group) without unnecessarily expend precious dollars on multiple staffs who are not really doing anything to preserve the so-called “status qou.”
If that report from the PAC-12 is correct, those remaining University Presidents should surely immediately fire everyone in their Conference offices.
While I have enjoyed being in the SEC since attending UT many years ago, what happening now is not really what I grew up with. I’m open to change though…. frankly, I don’t have any affinity or affection for any other “SEC team.” I get no satisfaction from getting beat by Georgia now (or Alabama, Florida in past).
If indeed we’re going into this brave new world driven by deals/money, then it’s surely time to toss off the unnecessary costs of maintaining multiple “conference” administrative expenses when they really don’t add much value.
The “Power T” is thankfully a greatly superior Brand than some silly SEC conference affiliation.
Go VOLS!
