Texas A&M Board of Regents will meet on Thursday to discuss a possible move to the SEC.

The Longhorn network makes everyone understandably uneasy but the changes that were made in the Big 12 make me hate Texas a lot less.

I, for one, think the SEC would fall over themselves to add a mediocre program from the Big XII. After all, they were pretty good for several seasons a few decades ago.

If anything, this should motivate aTm and the other 8 schools to start a seperate "Big 12" network as a means of making up some of the revenue disparity.

To me, that sounds like a much more reasonable proposal than taking your ball and going home.

That job becomes harder with Texas playing their own game.

It all comes down to money and demand. If the other Big 12 schools can work together and show that it would be profitable, then it will happen.

Personally, I'm not convinced that the Longhorn Network will be a success. After the initial buzz, I think the lack of quality programming will hurt the subscriber base.

A solid point as well on the profitability piece.

Another thought: is this aTm going to the mattresses over high school football? I know its a religion in Texas.

Forgot to add this on my last post, but I think this is UT testing the water to see if there is enough demand for them to go independent in football (ND is only successful because of its NBC contract and huge Catholic following; BYU has the Mormon following).

If there is, and that is a big IF, then they can just keep going for the money grab because they know they will be fine when the conferences blow up again. If LN is not a huge hit though, then it will humble them a bit and will probably keep the B12 together for the foreseeable future.

Kansas would have a much more difficult time owning the SEC as it has the Big 12.

I think everybody knew Bevo TV would be a problem. It's also a major conflict of interest for ESPN, but that's a separate subject. I like the idea of OU being in the SEC. It would create some more great games in that conference.

I also look forward to Mizzou (and hopefully Notre Dame) joining the Big Ten by the end of the decade. We haven't seen the last of this budding rivalry between Mizzou and Nebraska. Notre Dame will join a conference after a few more losing seasons. The Domers will realize being independent no longer works for them.

If Nebraska has been mediocre over the past decade what has Mizzou been?
