Slive "We'll take whatever teams we want, we are the SEC"

Beebe "Can I be assistant commissioner of the SEC when all this goes down."

Slive "Can you get Oklahoma to join?"

Nothing against Emmert, but I don't understand why the PAC 12, Big 10, SEC, and the other major conferences just give the NCAA the bird and say we "WE DON'T NEED YOU! YOU NEED US"

Did you read the article?

...
Beebe, ACC commissioner John Swofford and Big East commissioner John Marinatto all are concerned about the impact of expansion on their leagues and sought Emmert's involvement.

Basically the commissioners of the other conferences went to the principals office and told on us.

I can see Emmert listening to them now...


"Uh, huh...yeah..."

...as in, he's not going to have one in a few weeks?

Dan Beebe is Deloss Dodds' puppet. All you need to know.

Dodds has been telegraphing his future plans for expansion since at least July. If Beebe should be mad at anyone it's Texas...but Beebe is Texas' bitch. He can't really do anything there.

Slive is just doing what he needs to do to keep the SEC #1.
