It's too early to say what the SEC expansion stuff has had regarding an impact on recruiting. By the time you get to 2024, it'll kick in and perhaps sooner. Look, I was taken aback by some of the fanbase's response in response to this move by the SEC. I get that it pissed a lot of people off, but the SEC is not the only thing A&M had to sell. To say that is so shortsighted and ignorant to what's happening across the street.
Jimbo Fisher has done such a great job of eliminating BAS from the fanbase. One negative thing happens, and it's back. If you read our message board, some were saying we'd never get another player. Fisher signed top-five classes over and over at Florida State with Florida and Miami in the state. Mike Elko had no trouble getting players at Notre Dame.
Having the SEC was an advantage, but now you'll go head to head with Steve Sarkisian and Lincoln Riley, and you're concerned? No. A&M has a ten-year head start and knows the lay of the land because it's different in this league. They've recruited against Alabama and LSU. So why are you worried about Texas and Oklahoma?
A&M has dealt with Texas their entire existence. We know how the narrative gets spun. So why are you letting it affect you? It reached a point where I was putting out our content and not even reading our message boards
