How many teams will be left when the dust settles in a few years? I think there's a way for all the teams to still have some involvement. I will explain that at the end of this list. Here's my list of the top 32 programs and a list if it goes to 48. There's some debate if it goes to 48, but not much debate if it stops at 32. I guess one could debate Arizona State, but that's about it. The top 32 at least come close to carrying their own weight. Everyone below that line is losing money for t

I have never seen this written.  I have seen it written that it needs to be 10/11 votes. 

I will say this—neither Texas nor the SEC would never put itself in this position if they didn’t have the votes to join. Basically, if the votes were NOT there, we would have never heard about UT trying to join the SEC because it would have never gotten out.  

All of this is pretty calculated.  I think we’re gold.  The only part they didn’t account for was aggy hissy fit.

Aggy should abstain so the vote is 13-0 and then we can then brand it on their dog.

They accounted for it. That’s why they didn’t tell them for 6+ months and rallied the yes votes without telling them. So when they finally found out. What could they do? They panic. They leaked the story to their Houston Chronicle mouthpiece in hopes to start an uproar of people calling their Congressman. They sent their AD to media days early to try and garner support. None of it mattered. The SEC wasn’t on their side. The legislation introduced by sad reps from Aggy, Baylor, Tech will not go anywhere because special session and no quorum, not too mention Abbot is a Texas alum.

Once the leftovers find a landing spot they’ll chill out

I would not be surprised if the gomer BOR meeting is canceled.  What are they going to discuss?  The legality of a gentleman's agreement?  How to hold the SEC accountable?  Then are they wanting to punish the SEC for going against gomers wishes? Are they going to lay down some future rules as to how the SEC needs to treat Texas and how gomer will not play them?

The only thing that will come out of that meeting is a&m looking like bigger idiots than they already are. 

I hope it happens, they literally do not know when to stop and be quiet.

But they need to agree on their strongly-worded statement.

Is anyone else surprised at this reaction? I’ve thought about realignment a lot and I never really thought of them being so mad they would make such a public spectacle about this. I thought it would more bitter fan resentment and not a total, University wide meltdown.

Been thinking about the whole Texas hatred thing a lot. 

On this board, guys have been saying, "why does everybody hate Texas?" while simultaneously laughing about stealing Tech's coach and fucking over the B12. 

There are lots of reasons to hate Texas. So what? 

Texas is J. R. Ewing. Remember the old line by Ali, "I don't care if people pay to see me win, or pay to see me get whupped, as long as they pay to see me."

Back when the Dallas Cowboys were actually good, they were both the most loved and hated team in the NFL, and their games always had the highest ratings. A lot of those people were watching, hoping the Cowboys would lose. 

The ONLY thing the Horns need to fix is to start knocking heads ON the field again. Embrace the hate.

Your OU source sounds FOS.  3/4 vote to invite membership.  Why would there be another vote to accept an accepted invitation?

My understanding is there can’t be a 13-1 vote because the conference bylaws say it has to be unanimous. Aggy could choose to abstain, like Vandy did when they were up for a vote. That would make it the perfect 13-0 vote that we could tattoo on that stupid dog’s ass that @Hefeweizen or somebody pointed out earlier today in maybe the best post of the entire thread. I think it won the internet for the year.

Sadly I’ll never win post of the year because a) it wasn’t me and b) I don’t do original content, just cheap laughs.

I pretty much knew aggy would do a meltdown.  I did NOT think it would be this bad.

This thread deserves the "comeback player of the year" award.

For years, and years, and years, it was nothing but dogshit.

And now, possibly the greatest thread ever. Securing the financial future of Texas football, putting us at the apex of the competitive landscape, and completely fucking aggy over and exposing their insecurities to the entire college football world? All in one thread? Fantastic.

You don’t need your morning coffee.  All you need is a dose of aggy tears from secrant

A&M simply has to figure out what is best for itself after Snakey showed he could give a damn about working with our school. I have no idea what will come of it.  

But at least we are now aware - Snakey doesn't have our back in any way, shape, form, or fashion. What should worry some of the more intelligent fans on this board is that he will have no compunction about doing the same to any other SEC team in the pursuit of his goals

so just for a recap to make sure I have everything so far:

 

Texas and OU look to be making the move to the sec

Everyone says OU is let looking to the future but that UT is heartless and evil even though they are both leaving in the exact same way

everything was done in secret thru a law firm for a few months at least, a deal could be very close

SEC leadership totally left Mizzou and aggy out of the discussion and agreed to work on the deal with UT effectively behind aggy and mizzous back because of their Col. Sanders, mint julep country gentleman’s hand shake which supposedly gave aggy power over UT and OU entering the league

*Sharp and the Aggie president new about it but had to keep their AD in the dark according to Finebaum.

Aggy finds out thru the board of regents meeting where the plans were revealed either thru necessity or by a leaker

Aggy didn’t take it well, news gets to The Chronicle and we have a report that causes Texags to crash. 

Big Xii finds out and loses their shit since the remaining 8 are essentially fucked. Some of us feel bad for OSU and KSU, but not many.

aggy throws a huge apoplectic public tantrum where they insinuate they are going to look into to how to respond to such an outrage possibly by moving conferences, blocking in TX legislator or suing the SEC in gentleman's court for being naughty.   


 

Am I missing anything?

This. We’re like Ric Flair back when he was the NWA champion. He’d go from territory to territory and have a program with the local top babyface. He’d brag about how rich he was and how women loved him, and the audience would eat it up. They’d fill the arenas just to see him get his ass beat by the local hero. Flair would make the hometown boy look great for 55 minutes, and then by hook or by crook win or retain his title at the end. He’d leave with the belt, and go fuck the hottest townie at his hotel before moving to the next territory to repeat the process. 
 

For whatever reason we have that brand nationally, second only to possibly Notre Dame. Miami when they had it going on was the same way. Embrace it indeed, because we’re stuck with it one way or the other.

Hope everyone at the sec table now realizes that when aggy talks about equality, they mean everyone does what they want.  They are currently proving that their version of fraternity and camaraderie is that 13 schools acquiesce to one school instead of one school acquiescing to 13, because they are the one school.

I hope we play at Kyle Field in 2022 and win with walk off field goal after a questionable penalty gave us the necessary field position. I think that would cause their collective heads to explode. 

I’d rather kick their ass 52-0 like Bama normally does.

Joining aggy in the sec, forcing them to play a rotation of former "bdf" teams in their division each year (and proving they still can't beat them despite their blustering the past 10 years) would be good enough.

Them throwing a very public and very humiliating tantrum is just the cherry on top.

Having them possibly threaten to leave the sec...the only source of pride they've had over the last 10 years, just to avoid losing to their old big 12 bullies again... I'm not sure if I can take much more.
