Houston Chronicle: Texas & OU reach out to SEC to join conference

[Rekkapryde]

Big 10 definitely needs to take Iowa St and KU.

K State finna be on that Mountain West train

It is funny af that arguably the current best basketball program in the B12 and one of the best 2 (maybe 3) football programs they had over the past 11 years...might be assed out

 

[Sindicated]

Scared of catching that hot L and losing the SEC recruiting edge to Texas recruits. Aggie is pissed off right now

A&M is light years ahead of Texas, Texas ain’t even one of the top teams in the big 12 they’d get ran off the field if they played in the SEC. I’m talking 4 win seasons.

What is OSU and Clemson waiting on?

come join the party

Breh yall keep saying this but it’s not going to happen ISU and Kansas doesn’t have a big TV market if Kansas had a better football program maybe but i still have a had time seeing the big ten adding them I could see the big ten trying to get GT or UNC when the ACC media contract is up

As original SIAA members, I think we deserve it.

I'm happy this is coming to fruition. I'm not gonna lie, I thought OU was gonna get cold feet and withdraw. Oklahoma, as a state, is always years behind because they aren't progressive in anything. OU is generally progressive and a trailblazer for all things football and the trend will continue. I really do feel bad for Oklahoma State, but this is business. In order for OU to survive, this move has to occur.

I have friends from/in SEC country that have been wanting me to come to games and I kinda been putting it off.... I'm gonna be broke now... lol

First two games will be an Alabama game and, hopefully, whenever LSU comes up on OU's schedule.

OkSt gonna be alright. Not ideal but shyt could be a lot worse. Bedlam might really be done tho depending on the new pres. This put her in a terrible position right from jump

I don't see UNC leaving. The tobacco road mafia is real. If anything, ACC will make a huge push for ND full time (they played a full ACC schedule last season and 5 games per season before that). Question is....who joins them?

West Virginia would be my pick

UCF or Memphis

North Memphis, South Memphis, Westwood, Orangemount
Black Haven, East Memphis, West Memphis puttin it down

And the latter won't happen, at least with UNC. KU at least brings the the KC market which is 33rd or something like that. Raleigh is only 9 slots higher. Iowa St is like in the 70s. If football was that big of a dealbreaker for the B1G, explain Purdue, Nebraska, and Rutgers?

Memphis and WVa are damn near on par as far as academic ranking. UCF is on the bottom half of the 100s. None of them gives them access to areas that they already aren't in

Purdue has been in the big ten since 1800s Nebraska might be azz now but Nebraska football is still a national brand and Rutgers has the New York market the only reason Rutgers got a big ten invite is because of New York it’s a lot of big ten alumni in New York the big ten needed Rutgers to air the big ten network on basic cable in NYC

100 years later and the Southern Conference damn near back

Drop Tulane, VMI, and Maryland, add Texas, OU, FSU, A&M, Mizz, Louisville, BC, Cuse Pitt, Wake, Miami, and possibly ND and West Virginia... ESPN really did it

Remember who told you first...

Wait....so Iowa St doesn't have the market, but Iowa does? Neither are exactly apart of a big market. Aimes and Iowa City are roughly the same size in population and aren't that far apart.

Kansas basketball is a staple and the big 10 is definitely a bball loving conference. Rutgers football is trash and will never be good, Kansas has more upside in football than Rutgers. So if rutgers fits, so does KU.

Lastly, academic wise, both Kansas and Iowa St are AAU accredited schools, which is on a short list of schools including all of the Big 10 schools
