Texas: "...SEC was not the academic fit the school aspired to"

Alabama and the rest of the SEC is a lot smarter than Texas and the Big 12 think.


They are pussies. Plain and simple.

And apparently too dumb to understand.

IMO, they wouldnt be king in this conference, or anything even close to a conference bully in the SEC.

they clearly were preserving the easiest path to the BCS.

hell, half the time the dominant Big 12 team couldnt even survive their own conference title game!

no wonder that obstacle is gone.

Texas fans should be embarassed. Longhorns are supposed to have massive balls... not massive vaginas.

i couldnt be more proud of the SEC these days.

It's worth noting that Texas officials have said the SEC was not the academic fit the school aspired to.

I never understood that argument. If Texas is a good academic institution then wouldn't they bring up the SEC's academic average by virtue of their joining?

Even if they think schools like LSU & Bama are bunch of dummies how does that effect them? Are bad academics contagious?(Not saying LSU & Bama are bad) Are their fans gonna come to games in the SEC then get back to Austin and stop studying because they had such a blast at a football game?

this.

As a LSU graduate and 2 years of grad school plus 2 more at another SEC (USC) university, I resent the Texas pomposity.

Probably the best write up on the whole fiasco that I have read so far...and it was by a UT grad.

If German, then eat me.

I think Forde himself hit on the real issue. Texas didn't want to move to a conference where they'd be an equal partner in everything. They want to have special rights. That's what they have in the Big XII, and what they were going to try to do to the Pac 10.

Texas would have stood out more in the Pac Ten..
but still maybe play second fiddle to USC.

In the Big 12-2, they are still king

they could never be king in the SEC..as a newbie..

they realize it..and it's best they stay put.
