Only a complete imbecile would think West Virginia has more football tradition than Texas A&M.

But, clearly, adding A&M and Mizzou is a detriment to the SEC. They'll likely renegotiate a smaller, less lucrative contract.

Because there was no movement on a new media deal when Nebraska ran away from the conference.
Nothing happened. The new media deal came when the dead weight of MU and A&M left. I have no problem admitting losing Nebraksa was bad for the conference. But I'm not going to get hung up on a school that can't beat Texas thus leaves. What can one do? |

Let's not pretend that SEC is some down grade. It's obviously an upgrade to being a member of the Big 12. WVU, no doubt wanted the spot Missouri was offered before even considering the Big 12.
If you were so satisfied with this new mega conference the Big 12 has become then you wouldn't be trying so hard to make a case that the Big 12 is better off. "Look the Big 12 is better guys! Historic powerhouse _TCU_, another Texas school is here to save us!" |

Sucks that teams in the SEC can't go out and get more on their own though. Oh well... |

Those that stayed were given better deals as a result. The whole thing is very American. Throughout history, the masses have benefitted from the rugged individualists who were willing to risk the security that comes with subservience in order to find a better lot in life. Everyone wins here but Oklahoma and Texas, and they made their beds. Besides, they can afford new beds and have been seen talking to furniture salesmen, so they'll be a-ok.

You do remember the running jokes about the winner of the Big East in football the past 5 or so years right? |

And there was an article on cbssports that suggested the new SEC contract would make the Big 12 contract look like .47 cents in the ashtray. I believe Slive did say negotiations had already begun. Within several years at the latest the Big 12 contract will be dwarfed by nearly every other major conference, especially once the PAC 12 and SEC both implement their own networks.

There's no situation that is different than any other. The only reason I'm making an argument is that SG was claiming that Texas and OK were the only ones who weren't "better off". Well now the SEC schools have to split the same $$ with 2 more schools. Why aren't they now not "better off"? It's just hypocritical. No big deal. |

If going out and getting more on your own is so important, why aren't you advocating going independent? Isn't that antithetical to the idea of conference affiliation?
