The ACC has their Grant of Rights media agreement in place until like 2036.

I get that it would be logistically impossible to coordinate, but what's the reasoning the big time programs in the Power 5 not leading the charge in breaking off from NCAA oversight especially after NIL rights have been established?

To be fair, I doubt the Big 8 could survive in the present climate. It would have been cool though if the Big 8 poached schools from the B1G instead for longevity purposes.

That’s how the SEC works.

Breaking news: Texas can no longer say they are just Texas and not in "The South". Oklahoma can no longer claim they are in the Midwest and must change the name of Midwest City, OK.

You are all just - THE SOUTH - now.

Texas will now have been in both the Southwest and Southeast conference.

You cannot have it both ways.

SEC creating a D pod with all the old big12 kids ROFL

east & west was better

I miss big 8 basketball days. Never a dull game.

The Big 10 is obsessed with AAU membership... EXCEPT when it comes to the one school they most covet, Notre Lame (which isn't AAU).

Big Ten also has an academic research consortium that is as valuable as the sports side.

Right but they would discard that AAU requirement in a heartbeat to get Notre Dame, which isn’t an AAU school.

I'm looking forward to them continuing their fall to mediocrity and losing their special channel.

I am a lifelong Razorback fan, growing up in the old SWC days. I have always wanted a 'home and home' series with Texas. It was a shock when the Hogs left for the SEC and I'm glad they moved.

That being said, I don't think I'm a fan of admitting OU and TX. And, if I read it correctly, it would only take 4 teams voting against it to stop it. Believe that Missouri, A&M and Arkansas would all vote no... leaving just one more team to prevent it.

At the end of the day, the schools will let them in if it means the dollars for their pool increases significantly.

I don't think OU needs any help with recruiting, but joining the SEC won't hurt them aside from being able to lock in the conference title every year. Texas - they certainly need the SEC more than the SEC needs them.

Mizzou isn't voting no. This is a best of both worlds. You get Texas and its prestige and access to the benefits it provides as a conference member... but you get them in a conference that is so big and nasty by itself, it can tell UT to eff off and go away if they don't like things.

This is why we left when we could. The Big 12 was never going to be viable because Texas was always going to do this (Just a matter of whether it was SEC, B1G, or PAC). Mizzou jumped to secure a place in what would be one of the survivors of the final round of conference jumping.

I/we took a lot of shit in 2011. But it was all in anticipation of this.

LOL Wut?

Hey, join the Big 12 err 8, and we will promise you less than 30 million annually in media rights money. I know the Big 10 gives you 50 plus, but the 20-25 we offer is good because you can probably also own our asses in football.

**** Texas and their goofy channel that only exists so the university can hype up a shitty game vs Rice in early September.
