Texas and Zero U. to the SEC?
- Thread starter 9and4
- Start date
Florida and Georgia are on one side and Alabama and OU would be on the other plus you have A&M LSU Auburn
Timing seems weird, unless it has something to do with NCAA stepping back and they want to be on the forefront of what will eventually be a new NIL league?
I think a better choice would be the 'one front tooth' division and the 'no front teeth' division. I suspect that both would be after the latter designation.
does seem odd Texas would give up all it's power to join SEC and be in the bottom of the league
Alabama and Auburn would move East, making their rivalries with Tennessee (Bammer) and Georgia (Auburn) divisional affairs. Missouri would be in the West.
Anyone else watch Porky's on Cinemax and/or HBO with the volume on zero, at night, in the basement, while your parents were sleeping?
Writing from Iowa City, I actually think the time will come when Iowa welcomes ISU into the league or just doesn't play them in football at all. If ISU-Iowa is a league game or not a game at all, then Iowa is free to build a more national schedule, which would actually make them more than just the regional second- to third-tier program it currently is.
Any chance another ACC school would leave for the BIG?
Didn't anybody see the word POSSIBLY and know it's a slow news day. These stories always come out every year and to think people buy it as gospel is just crazy. People can go ahead and dream about realignment and what it would look like but does anyone really buy this as fact.
Yep you are right....
Baylor, ISU, KSU, OSU, Texas Tech...throw in Colorado State, Air Force, Wyoming, New Mexico, Utah State....best they could do under the circumstances.
I believe this would signal the end of the NCAA
There is chatter that Big ten would go after ACC schools.

I'd pick Cincinnati over Kansas. Decent G5 team and with better recruiting by being P5, it could make a nice rivalry with tOSU.
I was thinking Virginia and Georgia Tech, who knows? Wouldn't surprise me to see chatter about Kansas and Colorado to the BIG if no Notre Dame and no ACC schools. The key is not current competitiveness but in a big population center and good academics and good athletics.
I could see Florida State and Louisville ? or a NCstate / NC or Virg Tech / Virg combo
Wasn't an excuse during the last round of conference building was that OU and OSU were tied together?
All I know, if crap is hitting the fan and there’s more expansion, Kevin Warren will probably pick up The Citadel and Maine for the Big Ten. We’re in good hands.
Good observation, but I wonder if OSU would veto that in two seconds.
Yeah, it might hurt them for some of the lower recruits they get from Ohio - those guys would be starters for Cincy right away.
Sports aside, KU has the Cancer Research Grant. Pretty good resume for the school to any comference.
I think people underestimate KU's overall appeal as an institution and as an athletic department. And the football program won't be horrible forever. Right? RIGHT?
They're only into little boys and athletes.
The B1G is not going to invite any non-AAU school that isn't named "Notre Dame". Kansas, Iowa State, Mizzou, and UVa are members. None of the schools you mention above (except Kansas) are.
I was just a kid, but I seem to recall a scene in Heavy Metal where the dude lands on some planet and is naked and comments how he don't want to walk around some foreign planet with his dork hanging out.
Whether it happens or not THIS is exactly why we left the Big 12 and our move was an extremely good decision. We left because Texas was threatening to go to the PAC at the time and leave us behind to fend for ourselves with the midgets. Without Texas, the Big 12 is not a P5 conference, like it or not. And since Texas is such a HUGE catch financially for any conference they can leave any time and periodically threaten to do just that without any regard for the teams they would leave behind.
Cool! Now we won’t have to wait until the end of the season to watch Oklahoma get blown out by an SEC team!
Yeah, and geographic location is not an issue anymore. It will (if it happens) be all about
