This whole conference expansion stuff is pissing me off

I do NOT want A&M to join the SEC. That would frick everything up. Our conference is fine the way it is. What would we gain from A&M joining the West? Nothing. And yes, I'm mad.

I agree with this to a point, but at the same time the SEC is trying to be progressive. I just wish they would add a school with more of a basketball tradition.

I agree but I don't think we can just sit back and watch superconderences form while we stroke each others egos.

No one wants these slackjawed figs in our conference.

Man, screw all you let's keep it at 12 teams bullshite.
If you aren't changing and evolving you're dying.
Come on expansion

A larger T.V. market (Dallas and Houston), which in turn brings in a lot more money. It may not have happened yet, but it's going to happen eventually.

The only reason its not happening is b/c the scheduling alignment would be messed up with 13 teams. They need 2 or 4 to join before anything of real significance can happen. Its probably going to happen in the upcoming years b/c it looks like if the NCAA can get 4 big conference of 16 teams, then they can discuss a try playoff system w/ 64 teams in the mix.
Little schools will be left out in the cold when that happens.

It's kind of like the start of WWI (bare with me).
It's not like anyone wanted to fight in WWI, but all the treaties and the complications of international relations back then meant that once one Austrian got offed, everyone entered a war that resulted in chemical and trench warfare.
Bringing it back to conference expansion... most conferences are either happy where they are, or are as good as they'll get, but the landscape and the mere possibility of a conference expanding has scared them all into being proactive in scooping up teams.

I don't want them either...I'd rather LSU have the SEC pipeline into Texas personally. I'd rather add FSU and Clemson/Ga Tech

I agree. The SEC doesn't NEED this.
