Stucks thoughts on UT OU
PROS:
-More money - would be pretty diluted though as adding a 15th and 16th team wouldnt go as far as adding the 11th and 12th teams did, or the 13th and 14th teams.
-Strengthen the conference - both fans basis are huge and serious about sports, the schools are committed to winning. Texas is a school that raises the level of competition in pretty much every sport.
-Keeps Texas and OU away from PAC and BIG10 - probably the biggest benefit in this whole scenario. It completely rewrites the powerlines of college football. Its like if republicans win the congress and then gerrymander all the house races to win them for the next 10 years.
CONS:
-These two teams have wrecked two conferences in the past SWC and BIG12. They, at least in the past, have thought of themselves as above other schools, they may come into the conference saying they are equals, but how will they treat the smaller/less accomplished members in 20 years from now?
-Longhorn Network - built in recruiting advantage and revenue stream. Even if they agree to share the money with SEC equally, they dont share the recruiting advantage.
-Erodes recruiting advantage LSU has in Texas, significantly.
Stucks determination:
I don't think the pros outweigh the cons, honestly I think the best outcome is that they go to PAC12 and start stirring up shite there. I think the BIG 10 can at least keep Texas in their place, but I dont think the PAC12 will. The only way I would consider it is if Texas completely dropped the longhorn network immediately, which I do think Texas would end up doing.
I personally don't see an advantage for LSU to have Texas come in, I suspect that A&M, Mizzou, Florida, South Caroline, and Georgia would vote no based on their agreement to block schools in states that are already represented in the SEC.
