Would love to see aTm, Mizzou, OU, and Kansas added. Anyone think the SEC announces new teams before the end of the football season?

Still sour about the drunken posts? Im going to assume yes. Moving on, BW took the words right outta my mouth. I've mentioned it before a few pages back in this thread.

I'm not really sure that VaTech = DC TV market.

Many, many Tech graduates live in Northern Virginia, in the DC metro area. That's one of the reasons they played Boise State up there. I'd say there are more Tech fans in that area than any other school.

Nothing yet. The Dallas Morning News reported this last night:
CBSSports.com obtained documents that show A&M wants TLN classified as an "institutional publication", per bylaw 11.2.3.4, which would make it an "athletics representative of the institution." The 1994 interpretation dealt most mostly with what was, at the time, an explosion among specialty print publications. Several newsletters, magazines and weeklies sprung up in the 1990s that covered individual schools' sports. Several of those publications reported recruiting news in varying degrees as part of their coverage.

They were, in essence, what could interpreted as print versions of what the TLN is attempting to become in 2011. A&M is asking that the NCAA apply that Nov. 1994 ruling -- regarding those print publications -- to video-based publications.

If not, the school said, "the NCAA, in allowing institutions to create video-based publication agreements without any restriction on content, is opening Pandora's box."

A&M even uses a quote Texas AD DeLoss Dodds to drive home its point about TLN being an "athletics representative."

“This is yet another step leading up to our launch which will offer viewers unprecedented access to our sports programs …” Dodds said in a January press release

"Our goal is to keep this together," A&M AD Bill Byrne said. "I don't see anything contentious about it."

They unanimously voted to push it back one year even if the NCAA approves it.

For Immediate Release: August 1, 2011


Big 12 Athletics Directors Meet in Dallas

The Big 12 athletics directors met in Dallas and discussed content distributed on existing and future institutional and conference media platforms.

In previous discussions the Big 12 ADs unanimously agreed that no high school content would be distributed, consistent with NCAA rules. Today, the ADs of the Big 12 Conference unanimously agreed to establish a minimum one-year moratorium on the broadcast of any high school content (or any other content involving prospective student-athletes) via any medium branded as a Conference or member institution platform (and no use will be permitted thereafter unless and until the NCAA determines that such use is permissible). In addition, the ADs recommend the Big 12 Board of Directors strongly request the NCAA Board of Directors establish a national moratorium for a minimum of one year in order for the entire NCAA membership to determine whether such use should be permissible under NCAA regulations. The ADs recognize that this issue is complex and involves a detailed analysis of the recruiting model in many areas, including existing NCAA legislation related to the publicity of prospective student-athletes and the rapidly evolving world of technology. This process will take an extended period of analysis. The Conference will continue to monitor the broadcasting of youth athletics content.

In addition, the ADs learned and acknowledged that there may be contractual opportunities that allow more than one football game to be broadcast on institutions’ branded networks. That game could be a Conference matchup. In these instances both member institutions and the Conference office must agree to the selection. Such games would result in additional financial and exposure opportunities for the rest of the membership.

All actions by Conference athletics directors are subject to Big 12 Conference Board of Directors approval.

I feeel like this way, they'll be the 4th or 5th strongest program in the SEC West and they'll still be the little brother to Texas.

But the umbilical cord will be cut. TAMU can make more money and challenge for the west every 3 or 4 years.

I expect they would be like Arkansas at best. I think they have a better shot at winning where they are now, to be honest.

They do, but money is going to play a huge role in this.

Texas makes it all and then hands it out to the rest of the Big 12.

In the SEC, TAMU is going to get more and not have to deal with Texas.
