Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Tyler865]

If TX and OU join .. you would think

West
TX
TX A&M
OU
Mizzou
Arky
LSU
Ole Miss
MSU

East
TN
Vandy
USCjr
UF
UGA
KY
Bama
Auburn

Right, and Alabama, Florida, Auburn and Georgia being in our division ends any chance of ever competing for a conference title.

This is what will happen

Texas + Okie = Big bucks and press for the SEC.

Let's be realists - the NCAA model is dead. Period. A new model is developing that is pro sports oriented. NIL is here for good. Adding Texas and Oklahoma is a great business decision for the schools, coaching staffs and the players - they all win financially. So we can wish none of this happened or roll with it because it is changing no matter what we want.

Work backwards on number of games. Get the top 60 programs to agree on total games they will play in a season. Rebuild the schedule and eliminate the non-division rivalries. That stuff was great with the old model, but not with the new.

If we can't get in with an expanded playoff system that comes with it, we shouldn't complain. Just accept the increased revenues and put them to good use for the entire AD.

That would be fun.

Meh

 

[ACvol3]

That would be fun.

I don’t see how this helps us at all

If it gets Bama off the schedule every year it’s a huge help

I have some bad news.

 

[tnvols72]

Just kick out Missouri and Vandy

edit: Add Auburn to the East and Texas + OK to the West

We better hope they dont kick us out and send Tn to the Southern conf

I like it. We’ll call the old East Division the SEC, and the old West Division the Big 8.

Edit: or the SWC. Either way.

It doesn’t and it hurts everyone in the conference, it only helps Texas, Oklahoma and the SEC’s revenue (which is the only reason why this will happen).

That won't hurt us any worse-- we already play Bama all the time-- be nice to see GA and UF have to deal with them, too.

Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, and potentially Auburn every year in conference play? Hmm. . . better grab our bootstraps and get to work.

 

[JCP201]

We already play them all anyway, except Auburn, and we have been beating them, even with stinkoid teams.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Personally tired of the rejection. Not enough to stop trying, tho...

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

OU and Texas want that SEC money.

 

[tnvols72]

It might not help us but it would be fun. The way it is now does not seem to be helping either. If Heupel can start winning then that will help more than anything

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

The schedule amendments that would happen this year would be very interesting….

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

ACC here we come! Ten win seasons every year.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I think it would be great. It would be a real toss up of who would come out on top. I think it would deflate Bama a bit and help the rest.

This locks us in a middle of the pack team. We were already there but this cements us there. Sorry that's hard to hear.

 

[butchna]

It’s not like scheduling OOC cupcakes. To WIN your conference, you have to beat the other teams. Not a new thing.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Truthfully, we don't need Texas and their money they'll use in NIL in our conference. Same goes for OK, really.

 

[JCP201]

Send us to the ACC and we will be in contention every year. Plus, we are a basketball school, now. (I kid, I think)
