SEC goes about it's business.
A&M has meetings about leaving B12
Conf. Exp board gets checked Les & Les
Tigerdroppings.com closes Conf. Exp board tells A&M to
open their own board about it.
Nothing happens...Nothing happens
SEC stays the same.
A&M stays where it is.

I edited my post, Mizzou and Arkansas are 1-1 in recent match ups. Now Mizzou did beat Ole Miss the last 2x in recent years. I'm sure Arkansas would shred Missouri now with all the injuries and Soph QB, still think Mizzou would beat Ole Miss.

I do see WVU as a better athletic school than Missouri. Also would balance out the conference better than adding 2 schools to the West. I don't want LSU to have to play these two new schools every year and play our traditional SEC rivals less. What's a better game LSU V Missouri or LSU v Auburn? Conference expansion sucks!!

Ark did not bring in some great tv market nor did sc.
Now we take mo over WVU. WVU has a much stronger football program then Mo and a much stronger basketball program then MO. In the end a stronger program will bring more to the SEC. Mo is weaker then Vandy this will ultimately
Hurt the SEC!
Academics mother fricker...WVU doesn't have any.

It wasn't based on tv markets but it wasn't based on program strength either. South Carolina was fricking awful back then. Like bad bad.

Not 100% positive, but my guess is SEC wanted to go to 12 teams and they wanted FSU to be the East team. But FSU decided the ACC was a better decision money wise. So they had to get another team...

we based it on the strength of teams? you can't be serious. we based it on needing 2 more teams to qualify for a championship game.

SVP on ESPN radio made a strong case yesterday that the SEC will have the hardest time expanding to 16 if that's the direction everyone is going. He stated that because of the quality of the SEC, that we didn't want to add subpar teams, and because of the ACC's buyout, so we can't really poach their teams which are the only good teams in our region.

I think the SEC may just stop at 14 and let everyone else go to 16. No one said you had to go all the way to 16... Conferences already have 10 teams with bids to the BCS so why couldn't a 14 team league do the same in world of 16 team leagues.

People are grossly overrating the buyout increase.
Consider this...that extra $7 million (up to 20M from 13) can be paid off by the rest of the SEC schools to get FSU or VT.
NO WAY, you say? Consider the long term benefits and money for the league by adding the schools/markets they truly want/need.
And if the current 13 (TAMU included) pays a little over 500K a piece to make up the difference in ACC buyout, that's NOTHING in the grand scheme of things. In fact, that dollar amount is the difference these days in a guaranteed payday for an FCS school versus an FBS school. That's why LSU likes playing Towson, NWST and McNeese. Nicholls and SLU are next on the list. Ask Verge Ausberry...

This is my ultimate wish. If people truly looked at how badly 16 teams would screw up scheduling they would
at the sight of their schedules in a 16 team SEC. Now, if we can simply convince Missouri to join the SEC East we won't need to fool around with any ACC teams. I personally wanted Virginia Tech (or NC State as a last resort) as the SEC East addition but if Missouri agrees to join the SEC East then I can live with their addition. That would keep SEC schedules completely intact and only require replacing 1 non conference game with a game against the new team in each division (A&M for SEC West teams and Missouri for SEC East teams).This post was edited on 9/20/11 at 10:41 am

Consider this... if as you say that extra $7 million or the whole $20mil is picked up by the SEC schools as you so casually posit, may I ask where these SEC schools are going to get that kind of cash? The sports program budget, you say? Ok, but where does that revenue come from? One of the sources is ticket prices. And who pays the ticket prices? Fans. And to make up a budget that is suddenly responsible for a part of that big sum, how will the schools handle that item? Ticket price increases. Probably. And who will pay those increases ultimately? You will, or I will, if we buy tickets. But when will too much already, really be too much?

I think it's better for teams to stop at 14 rather then go to 16. I know the revenue is greater at LSU/Bama then it is a LSU/Tulane but how many times are you going to have to watch LSU/Bama(both with losses) before the meaning becomes diluted?

the REAL point is how much would being in the SEC be worth to your school per year vs staying in your current conference per year.
if the SEC money > your conference money... how long would it take recoup the buyout money.
if the ACC ends up at 16, i have a feeling their new TV deal would be worth close to the SEC's deal based on population centers and markets.
Thats why the buyout is such a big deal
