SEC should get rid of Ole Miss and Mississippi State?

[JZVOL]

It's just a hypothetical. Nobody is saying we really should.

So every conference with historically weak programs should cut them off completely and only let strong programs be a part of it? Do you want the Royals to drop out of the AL Central? How about the Pirates get the hell out of the NL Central while we're at it.

Again, relax. It's a simple what if thread.

Relax? I am perfectly relaxed.

If they were going to get rid of two it should be Vandy and one of the Mississippi schools.

My apologies for not reading into this that you were discussing a hypothetical situation.

Yeah let's just up and get rid of two of the SECs founding member Universities. Idiot. On top of that we should, as THE best conference in the country, follow the example of other conferences rather than do our own thing.

One of the dumbest things I've heard today. Ok so Mississippi State hasn't done much on the football side, but they have a solid baseball program and a competitive basketball team that nine out of ten times will be in the NCAA tournament. Ole Miss is steeped in tradition even if it's been a while since they've won a championship, you can't ignore what they've meant to the SEC historically.

Arky and South Carolina

I agree with this, neither school is a founding member of the SEC. Ark would be better off in the Big12(10) and So. Car. would be better off in the ACC.

Who cares what some moron in Orlando is blathering about.

Too much southern tradition in these two schools, not gonna happen.

Miss St and Vandy add nothing...

I would keep Ole Miss. though...

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Forget about expanding, SEC.

Contraction is the ticket to more money.

I've already been down this road...

Back in the day I was pretty fast. Now that I'm married and put on 20 pounds I sometimes have to beat out a single to right field.

I'm sure you and your wife play in a very competitive co-ed softball league.

Do we need a sarcasm smiley?

Come on now, it's the Atlanta MABL son! Atlanta Men's Adult BASEBALL League! This 27 year old plays in the 18 and over league rather than the 25 and over. Give me some credit! :hi:

Arky and South Carolina

so would I, i posted this on twiter @ #sec
and got tons of hate tweets.

I thought the SEC could proove how powerful they are by getting smaller when everyone else is getting bigger.

Every conference needs their doormats. I'm guessing that this writer's knowledge of college football only goes back 20 years.

Tennessee needs their doormats right now. Without Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and South Carolina, where would we be?

False. Both MS schools make (by far) the least amount of money when it comes to athletic departments.

We'd be the new Vanderbilt right now.

This. Without a doubt.
