What makes the aggy tears so delicious is the way they completely went all-in on the SEC and made it the very center of their identity.

Thread Starting Aggie said:
...We made this conference a **** ton of money and for what, to have them go behind the scenes and court our rivals behind our backs?...

This thread is best read in small doses. The above quote is the largest safely-sized sample. There could be serious consequences otherwise.

My guess is that Texas will slow play this for awhile. Act as the humbled "New Texas" just grateful for the opportunity while they reclaim their Texas recruiting dominance away from aggy and wait for Saban to die. After Alabama comes back to earth, like Michael Corleone at the baptism, they'll strike and start to tilt things in the direction of Austin.

No way in hell is this true. It can't be. For one thing tsun's superiority complex would never allow them to mingle with SEC rabble much less be seen as having been brought along on their Daddy's coattails. As for OSU, they'd see the last dollar from me.

OTOH, if the SEC is really trying to form the Death Star super conference, then it really pushes the B1G to get off the pot and think about bringing in the best of the PAC.

So what would they call this monstrosity?

The "Everyone point and laugh at Ped State, Miami, ND, and the entire PAC 12" Conference?

I can hear the chants now in Atlanta during the conference championship game.

The old paradigm of media markets, tv contracts, and regional alliances is dead.

We are barreling towards a streaming and click-based content consumption society where the only thing that matters is brand names that move the needle for fantasy rosters and sports bettors. Media markets no longer matter; names and prestige do. College football is not a regional, tribal thing anymore. It’s a multi-million dollar enterprise that is the defacto feeder league to the NFL, which Americans bet billions on every year.

Kevin Warren is 100% the wrong person for this moment. Where have you gone Jim Delaney?
This is especially true with NIL
