"Unlikely? Sure. Am I the only one who sees it? Probably."

That is an opinion piece, not anything remotely showing ANY interest by the SEC.

I didn't say "by the SEC", I said:

TCU had been mentioned as a dark horse candidate for further SEC expansion

Oh yes, I forget. Thanks for the reminder.

I'm getting word that Tulane has an invitation to the SEC. The Big XII better scoop them up quickly.

Tulane does have that coveted AAU membership.

810 is reporting Mizzou abstained from voting on the TCU expansion offer.

This is promising.....:hmmm:

So Keitzman's trying to stir the flames on Twitter, saying his "sources" stated that Deaton took part in the discussions and was involved in everything bar the vote. He then said would he really do that if his intentions were to move Mizzou.

Ok whatever Kevin, clueless moron.

IIRC Chip Brown was the first to tweet that Mizzou participated in the discussions, but recused from voting.

Well they got the Big 12 South taken care of now with the additon of TCU. Now onto the North they go with BYU and Louisville then who between Cincinnati and West Virginia.

Wrong.

"What it means is that TCU could be out of the Big East before it ever officially joins. According to two college officials, it would be an easy departure for the Horned Frogs, since they would only have to pay a $5 million exit fee and aren’t bound by the 27-month waiting period penalty unless they are Big East members as of July 1."

I suspect another motivation crept into this decision. TCU had been mentioned as a dark horse candidate for further SEC expansion and I think the Texas schools were a bit nervous about two Texas schools in the SEC, so this might have been a bit of a preemptive move to head that off, especially if Mizzou does go to the SEC.

Wrong. TCU has never been under consideration for joining the SEC.

I'm just speculating but Bama is probably hesitant to sign away their cross-division rivalry with Tennessee. Florida and Georgia are likely skeptical about having to travel to Mizzou as they are the two schools farthest away. Not sure about LSU.
