When I went to UT they deemed it an unfair recruiting advantage for the pep band to play for recruits. How is this not an unfair advantage?

That does seem like an unfair advantage for them. I feel sorry for aTm, even more of a reason to get out of the Big 12.

It has been suggested on another board that it is indeed unfair, but I havent had a chance to look at it myself. (not that I am any sort of expert)

here is the section of the NCAA rules they are talking about:
NCAA rule 13.10.3 states:
A member institution shall not permit a prospective student-athlete or a high school, college preparatory school or two-year college coach to appear, be interviewed or otherwise be involved (in person or via film, audio tape or videotape) on:
(a) A radio or television program conducted by the institution’s coach;
(b) A program in which the institution’s coach is participating; or
(c) A program for which a member of the institution’s athletics staff has been instrumental in arranging for the appearance of the prospective student-athlete or coach or related program

other than that is just a bunch of talk about OU, Okie St, A&M and Mizzery being ticked and ready to jump ship. All just rumor and conjecture, I have no links.

That's a huge recruiting advantage. Has the NCAA approved it?

I thought we couldn't even show recruits on the jumbotron at basketball games. Not sure how Texas can make this seem legit.

NCAA bylaw 14.3.12:

Just don't send a hot blonde with a poster board to Rock Hill, SC, because THAT is crossing the line.

I find it hilarious that the nine dwarves didn't see this coming when they agreed to stay in that "conference."

Bill King completely and totally shot down the "recruiting advantage" argument that detractors have been arguing yesterday morning.

There's a whole lot of reasons to get annoyed with Texas over this, but recruiting is not one of them.

The rumor I have heard is that aTm has already told the SEC (months ago) that they are ready to come over. I know that Mizzu has told the Big Ten that they are ready to join, just let them know and they will pack their bags.

I dont know how much truth there is to the A&M rumor, but Mizzery was 100% up front about it back in the Big Ten meetings, when they brought in Nebraska.

I dont see that trainwreck of a conference staying in place for much longer. Texas is going to run them all out and we will end up with 4 Super Conferences ( or 5??) and will be half way to a real playoff system. Just my guess

Missouri prostrated themselves before the Big Ten, but the Big Ten didn't want them. A&M was a breath away from joining the SEC, but stayed in the Big XII based upon promises of a larger stake in the revenue sharing. Turns out those promises weren't worth much.

The Aggies will be in the SEC within five years. Missouri is interesting. Perhaps the Big Ten would accept them in response to an expanded SEC, but if I'm the SEC, I'd give the Tigers a serious look. They may be worth more than Oklahoma.

No doubt they could give you two larger media markets than OU could, but I still think OU is the first call.

We know Louisvile, Tech, Clemson, FSU and Miami are off the table as options, but I've got to wonder if the conference would look also look east as well.

OU is a more valuable commodity in-and-of itself, but Missouri's media markets are better, and it's not close. They also bring better basketball. I'd really be fine with either.

If the SEC looks east, the only school that makes a ton of sense is Virginia Tech. And I just don't know if what they bring is equal to Missouri or OU.

If you are thinking inside the box.

If you want to make a splash in the media markets, you make a call to Maryland.

The Terps should carry two really strong markets. But they simply don't draw in those markets. DC and Baltimore are pro sports towns. Perhaps the Terps would draw better in the SEC, but do you really want to split the pie based on hope?

Once the SuperConferences start to form, I think that Missery gets more appealing to the Big Ten. problem with schools joining the Big Ten is there is an academic requirement that not all schools can meet. Schools are/were required to be a member of the Association of American Universities. LINK

U of Florida is currently the only SEC school that is a member of the AAU, and UT and Vandy are the only other schools in the conference that would immediately meet the requirements (not an elitist thing, just has to do with Research/Teaching requirement)

There was also some talk of "REALIGNMENT" which would send Texas, A&M, OU, Okie ST to the SEC, and Mizzery, Vandy and Tennessee to the Big Ten.

I think it is all very interesting, and it looks like the process of forming Super Conferences is gathering steam.

Any talk that included Vandy and Tennessee to the Big Ten wasn't coming from anyone who should be taken seriously.

I could never imagine Tennessee leaving the SEC. Vandy. . . . maybe, but probably not.

The talk was coming from a million different bloggers, who were all trying to be the first to make a correct guess at something.

And I do not take any of them seriously anyways.

That just isn't true. It is 100% a recruiting advantage to be able to cherry pick your top recruits high school football games and put them on TV. Surely you see that, no?

I can't see Tennessee leaving simply because of all of the rivalries and tradition. It would create a huge uproar, I believe.
