COVID losses, massive national debt, declining enrollment, lack of state funds, and intentional downsizing of a bloated higher ed system has led to this.

Texas maintained talks with the SEC intermittently since then until now. They knew where they would have to go in a crisis.

When giants move its because real danger is on the horizon. And it is. This is a survive and thrive move and the fact that TTU and OSU are not a part emphasizes just how much fear of the future is involved.

Sorry JR. I have been on this board 11 years and I assumed, incorrectly I guess, that JR meant "Junior". My dad was a junior and the family always called him JR. Again, my apologies... My post was merely to point out how on-point you were regarding this.

No problem Medic. An ACC troll likes to use that.

We are going to have to watch Vandy now. If they decide to step out we may add another. Missouri's president needs to lobby for Kansas. If the Big 10 raids the ACC we might take 4 more and stop at 20.

The money is getting huge and the tension is going to be high.

I have a feeling we'll see the SEC and Big 10 emerge supreme and a new conference formed out of the rest which pays in the 40-45 million range so that noone left behind has damage claims. And that conference would have a playoff slot and have a chance at at large spots.

This is a process coming from corporate networks who used COVID losses to accelerate their agenda.

Now that you mention it, I remember that troll. Kansas would be a welcome addition to the SEC. It would benefit their football program, and add to SEC BB. They could also get over the pain of being left by the Tigers. lol

Don't bet on them getting over it. Some butt hurt never dies as it just festers in the bowel. I give you Texas and A&M. There are hemorrhoids inflamed in both of them. Don't they understand that their hate is extremely profitable, like Auburn / Alabama on a grander scale?

I get that it’s all a business and nothing personal, but it’s not really a feeling of hate for UT right now so much as the feeling of being betrayed (especially by our own leadership) so that everyone gets more money which makes it okay that we sacrifice our competitive edge in recruiting and likely lose most of the ground our program has gained in the past 10 years.

I get we're supposed to just take our 60 million and be happy that we’re here and not in the imploding B12 but for an old timer like me who remembers the SWC days and all the days between then and now, the way CFB is headed with the NIL and super mega conferences, it just irks my grumpy old sensibilities to no end and my interest is fading.

But oh well, can’t fight wonderful wonderful progress as they say
