In what world would they not have the votes? They’ve already got 30 out of 83 R’s on board, no reason that won’t climb to 60 or 70 on that side alone. Add in just 10-15 dems and that’s well over half of the 150 total.

Because those 30 are likely the only ones that actually give a shit about it? Next session is 2 years away and zero chance this gets put into a special session with the mess that is Texas politics right now. 
 

Question: Are you actually trying to be retarded on purpose with regards to your last couple of replies?

LOL its amazing how long we have held together the band of little brothers for the last 85 years. So much so that apparently Lubbock and Waco will be sucked back into the earth because Texas can't come play them every other fall.  I say fuck'em and send them their own way.

The rest 100 of 181 members DON'T CARE!

 

YOU LOSE!

While I agree it won't matter, I do think politicians from Lubbock, Waco and Ft. Worth will vote with the angry members even without the school ties.

I think all of the ones with no dog in the fight would break towards Leach’s side., like cth pointed out. Will also be easy to sell UT as the elitist woke higher ed institution trying to kill off the small & private schools, at which point the move is beyond dead with the legislature & the general public.

It won’t be stopped legislatively. The Baylor and Tech grads in the Lege are gonna look like huge babies. They had 10 years and 5 sessions to pass this legislation to require Lege approval to join a new conference, but Daddy Texas kept their schools from being broke G5 castoffs for far too long.

I said if the move happened, the academic side would have an issue. 

The move to the SEC is (would be?) a horrible cultural fit on many levels. To believe the UT faculty will collaborate with “colleagues” from redneck, land grant farm schools is a bit laughable. 

To think UT alumni will ever pledge loyalty and fealty to the S!E!C! is equally laughable. We aren’t “family” with them. We’re Texas.

This is so freaking stupid.   Yes some SEC schools aren't exactly top 50 but to suggest that there isn't excellent research going on at many SEC schools is just freaking dumb.    And who says you are required to collaborate with your athletic conference colleagues at all?  I for one will be more than happy to collaborate with co-eds from all the SEC schools.

Baylor letting everyone know that they know they are fucked.

Dear Baylor Family:

As many of you are aware, news broke this week of an alleged change in the Big 12 Conference membership, linking the University of Texas and the University of Oklahoma with a possible move to the Southeastern Conference.

Since that time, we have heard many of you express concerns about the uncertainty of our conference and the potential impact on Baylor University a concern we share with you.

We understand the significance and urgency of this matter, as our conference membership impacts not only Baylor, but also the Waco community, the state of Texas and beyond. Conference affiliation has the power to greatly enhance our institution's academic and athletic national standing and visibility while also expanding academic and research opportunities available to faculty, students and our communities. For our state, it is critical to our economy and Texas' overall reputation to maintain five "Power Five" institutions, reinforcing the Lone Star State's athletic preeminence.

Rest assured, we, along with the Board of Regents, members of the Baylor delegation in the Texas Legislature and other Baylor leaders, are actively engaged in conversations with our Big 12 colleagues and others to ensure our University is in the strongest position possible now and into the future. 

In the midst of what promises to be a lot of angst and speculation, we will continue to focus on what we can control and support our student-athletes and staffs. And, as the landscape of college athletics continues to change, we maintain an unshakable belief in the strength and resiliency of Baylor and the Baylor brand.

Thank you for your enduring love of Baylor University and the vital role you play in helping Baylor carry out its Christian mission while competing academically and athletically at the highest levels.

Sincerely,

livingstone-signature
Linda A. Livingstone, Ph.D.
President

Mack Rhodes-signature
Mack B. Rhoades, IV
Vice President, Director for Intercollegiate Athletics

‘The strongest possible position.’

The possibilities look like shit.  Damn shame.

So they're doing a lot of "collaborating" with scholars from . . . K-State, Okie State, OU, TTech, KU, and WVU, not to mention TCU and Baylor?

Despite the fact that these kinds of "collaborations" are not a thing defined by conference boundaries, if you don't think Vandy, UF, UGA and even A&M are upgrades you haven't been paying attention.

Everyone knows that won't happen. The academic side will be cordial and professional to the SEC, but go about business as usual. Similar to my comment as a fan & alum that I'm viewing us as independents who just happen to play the same teams year after year.

We're not going to lower our academic or research goals because of this arrangement. This is about growth. And Texas knows how to leverage those opportunities like few others can.
