So......Mizzou to the West and Bama & Auburn to the East, right? 

Only if somebody at SEC headquarters owns a globe.

Everybody in the west would vote for this because it means Bama goes east and everybody in the east would love to add 20 million a year in revenue. 

I mean, it for sure would get a majority vote. It would ensure a massive economic wind fall for everyone and multiple guaranteed spots in the playoffs every year for the conference.  That being said, you wonder why this was leaked? To force the other conferences to make their pitch to Texas/OU?

Leaving Tech Baylor and TCU with their dick in their hands would be fun as well.

More TV money, more playoff money, more season tickets sold in the new SEZ. 

The better question is why OU would do it given the rule the roost. 

If they feel like the SEC would take Texas +1, it is by far in their best interest to go along.  Being king of whatever the Big 12 looks like without Texas is not where a serious program wants to be.

Lopez has some legit sources at aggy

I mean, isn't this the definition of self fulfilling prophecy?

The only way for the Big 12 to be unstable is for Texas and OU to want out.  So if Texas and OU don't want out, the league isn't going anywhere.  If they know it isn't going to last, it's because they decided so.  Not because of some unstoppable external force of nature.

What the fuck is going on here?   Where are flight aware updates?   Drape patterns at horseshoe?  Grainy photos from a restaurant,  somewhere. @futureman doing what he does best?   Y'all slipping.

No denying and no saying "we love our current conference" speak

Hmmm…siap

“Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork made it clear to gathered media Wednesday that he wants the Aggies to be the only team from the Lone Star State in the conference. Texas A&M and Missouri were the two teams that left the Big 12 for the SEC in the last round of conference realignment nearly a decade ago.

"I haven't read the article, but if you're asking me to kind of comment on college athletics, it's changing," Bjork told Dodd. "So what does that look like? I don't know. ... We want to be the only SEC program in the state of Texas. There's a reason Texas A&M left the Big 12: to stand alone to have our own identity."

4 divisions idea is interesting. The irony of the two division setup is that it's basically the Big 12 + LSU in the West (in terms of contenders) and then the normal SEC powers minus LSU in the East.

That's the most little brother thing imaginable. Big brother would say "Sure, come on in. We'd love to beat up on you."

This. Nobody else is going anywhere. It lasts as long as UT and OU are happy. If they're not, well then just blow it up already and let Baylor get fuct. I think we'd find a home in the PAC. We could market NIL to large west coast markets maybe. Who knows. I just don't want to be relegated to the AAC.

Well at least they have plenty of time to make their next 100 year decision. 

Why would OU want to trade winning the Big 12 nearly every season with losing the division to Alabama nearly every season?

Basically no matter what Alabama most likely will not be in Texas or OU's division or pod. 

It will be some version of Texas, A&M, OU, Arky, LSU... fill in the blank. 

Will play the others in the conference a lot less frequently, sort of like our out of conference schedule was already setting up.

Because they won't play Bama very often? 

Only in the championship game most likely? And even then, the two teams in the championship game will most likely make the playoffs as they expand to 12 teams.

You won't, and neither will we.  I'd rather keep the Big 12 together, but I have little fear about ISU finding a home with the state of our football, academics, and the rise of cord cutting.  Media markets don't make a shit.

What I could see happening is us and KU joining the Big 10 due to academics and geography, and the rest of the league going west.  I'd miss playing you guys and KSU but I could be pretty happening with that arrangement.

I also wouldn't hate anchoring a Great Plains wing of the Pac 12 with you guys and KSU and playing CU again either.

Two of aggys big brothers just came back from the war.....  It's family again lil bro! ROFL

and poor piggy has had a generation to lick their SWC wounds... time to open them up again. 

We are leaving the refs to hang around with Baylor and TCU since they love them so much right? Good luck in the AAC with Houston and whatever you stupid rape covering up inbreed roaches/bears

Straight cash homie

Among other reasons like being able to tell which way the wind is blowing.

If it's 8 team division and they're both in the West...

If this happens (and it's not going to happen) I would assume that would be the move.  The Big 10 and ACC are going to want to fill out, ISU and KU are the only logical available choices for the Big 10 based on academics and geography, WVU + Notre Dame fills the ACC, and the Pac 12 adds KSU, OSU, Tech, and probably TCU (being as they are less religious and rapey than Baylor).

Actually, I don't hate this.

Not my top choice. Wouldn't bother me if we did.

ESPN may have an opinion. If this plays out as above, they lose a lot of decent content when the rest of the conference goes Big 10 or PAC 12.

And this is the same playbook as last SEC Expansion...make the schools ask first so they don't look like they're poaching (as much).

P.S. Finebaum talking about this now on SECN from SEC Media Days.

Because winning the conference isn't where da gold at.

On the one hand, we'd stop having to play Kansas, TCU, Kansas State, West Virginia and Tech.  On the other, we have to play some real asshole schools in aggy, arky, LSU, maybe Mizzery again.

But also the LHN would die.  It would fold into the SEC Network I guess? 

But....

Would the Texas Lege let Baylor, TCU and Tech die in a shitty Big 12 or revamped SWC with UH, SMU, UTEP, UTSA?  Because those 3 big schools aren't going to appeal that much to the Pac 12 - certainly none of them really give the Pac 12 a better chance at the playoffs.

Didn't this golum say Texas was irrelevant in football?

That article doesn’t mention either Okie State or Tech, which makes me think it’s a troll job.

Adding those schools gets the Pac 12 into the central time zone and puts them on the same field as other leagues.

If this happens, the remaining leagues will all go to 16.
