Since when is the state of Texas a sovereign nation, thus having its own "citizens"?

Very interesting update.

Still seems like little more than speculation at this point.

We'll know something when we know something. It appears to be mostly a lot of guessing right now with some guys (like Gregorian in STL) just grinding axes where they can.

I found this quote interesting....which is what I have been arguing with HH all along:

But …

*** If Texas A&M becomes the SEC’s 13th team, that sets the superconferences in motion.

“The SEC won’t stop at 13, or even 14. And if the SEC is at 14 or 16, the Big Ten will do it,” a source said. ”At that point, (the Pac-12) would be crazy not to entertain the idea of expansion.”

(Multiple sources said the SEC’s 14th team would most likely be Missouri. Combine untapped TV dollars with geography, and the schools that make the most sense for the SEC are Texas A&M, Missouri and Virginia Tech.)

Only if the SEC goes to 13 would the Pac-12 evaluate its options.

This entire thread is speculation.

I wouldn't take anything as concrete until schools are voted in as new members of conferences. This stuff is fluid and seems to change by the day, if not the hour.

Multiple sources also believe VaTech is the most likely 14th.

I don't think there's any question that Mizzou will find a soft landing if everyone goes to 16. But there's absolutely no assurances that anything of the sort will happen.

I think there's a decent chance the B1G tells everyone to take a flying leap and sticks at 12 (they're just snobbish enough to do it). And if they're at 12 and the PAC is at 16 - the SEC fills a 'niche' so to speak right in the middle at 14 - they have no real drive to expand to 16 because both sides of them are covered.

There's rampant speculation from all sides right now. I don't think anyone truly knows anything.

The only person to follow in this mess is Chip Brown from Orangebloods.

Haven't you guys learned your lesson from last year?

I heard Bob Fescoe may know something.

:LOL:

Sounds like the Conference Armageddon is finally upon us.

/bracing myself

LETS DO THIS

Yup. Seems like the drugs have been loaded into the syringes. They have strapped my team/university onto the gurney.

I'm just waiting on the governor to call for the stay of execution.

But what if they have replacement schools in place or can pull them together? Do all those schools have a place to go?

According to Fescoe and his guest this morning, it's an absolute fact that Texas will make sure that KU is taken care of. Texas needs KU for legitimacy.

:hmmm: Somebody needs to lay off the meth.

LMAO
