Texas & Oklahoma Want to Join SEC

[Villian07]

Yea but your doing just fine in basketball without it sans last year. Your ooc is brutal, the sec has gotten much better. One game a year vs tx, ou, mich, osu each gonna make the basketball team that much more lrepared for the tourney??? You had two of those of the schedule last year anyways.

Besides NO ONE with any saying power is using basketball as the reason to jump conferences fro big12 to sec. its ablut $$$ and more specifically football $$$.

And agree to disagree if you think UK will remain competitive if the sec adds all those football juggernauts. Yall dont exactly contend for sec championships as it is with uga and fla in your division, now if they added clemson and whoever ur figting for 4th place in the east.

If they go pods. Ur gonna be geographically podded up with ohio state. not jist ut, vandy, and mizzou, while gerographically correct is pretty much a joke of a pod (just using lurkers pods as example) when comparing the other 3. I mean peyton manning and tee martin are long gone and UT aint done much since. Ohio state would dog walk that division annually. Plus stoops would have an sec member in ohio to recruit against aka take leftovers.

Missouri fans are talking loads of shit on KU right now (despite the fact that nothing’s happened), as if they don’t even understand what’s coming for them. They’re about to be bottom-feeders in a 20+ team league. If they turn their basketball program around, they might not be completed buried, but there will likely still be several programs above them in any given year.

Th e worst part to me is still vandy gets grandfathered in for contributing nothin in either Main sport, aka why i didnt mention baseball.

We should adopt a European style relegation system in US Sports.

Ive been quoted as saying that in multiple threads. Totally agree. Unf the $$$$$ factor will never allow it, imo.

The B12 offered Texas and OK more revenue by decreasing the other members revenue. Not going to work lol. WV wants to go to the ACC which is a good fit. B12 is history as we knew it.

A&M is on board with TX and OK.

I wouldn't say A&M is on board with it. They just know there is nothing they can do to stop it.

do you think UK is taking away Ohio recruits from Ohio St. now?
i do not see recruiting Ohio for UK changing if OSU joins the SEC

i do think there is a chance recruiting for UK gets better if they go to a super league

On board = yes vote. semantics

 

[lurkeraspect84]

 

[della]

I think this is more about player likeness regarding recruiting and money more than anything else. This will hurt College sports as a whole.

I mean OSU very much came in and took our best recruit last class, he was from Ohio. So if they are poaching kids committed to lil ole louisville, i dont see why you think UKs commits would be protetcted?

Itll be more about late bloomers you have commotted getting poached on signing day than going head to head vs OSU for recruits, imo. But your right, they could do that now, most likely anyways.

I could see your recruoting improve, what i cant see is your program competeting week in week out with the juggernauts of college football. I mean counting the slide weve been on yall have the easiest non-conf schedule in all of football, dropping teams like wku for worse scrubs bc wku would rise up and win a game every now and then in the series.

IDK uve beaten florida once in 30 years but are ready to bring on the likes of clemson, osu, oklahoma etc. good luck.

We've been killing it with defensive backs, running backs, oline and for the most part receivers. What we haven't had is a QB. We keep trending the way we are, with a decent QB we're competing at a high level in the east. We've been able to run, even though the other team knew what was coming. We're missing balance. Before we missed quality depth overall, but that's no longer a problem.

If the SEC takes on teams like Ohio State or Michigan or Clemson, I would say that’s bad for college sports. If we end up with four super conferences, including the PAC, ACC, and BIG, I think things will work out just fine

Clemson and Ohio State are holding College Athletics together with duct tape.

If either of them join this circus in the SEC the 3-4 Super Conference dream dies and at best you are looking at 2 premier conferences where clearly the 2nd league is the inferior league.

If the SEC wants 24 teams, they will get 24, but there is no way Vanderbilt and a few of the other original SEC teams survive the larger that thing metastasizes.

almost every top recruit in Ohio wants to play for OSU
which conference they are in is not going to change that
every year we deal with the "what if OSU offers" so i think very little would change on that front

UK is getting the Ohio recruits that used to go to the other B10 schools

[I am stupid]

I could see the acc wanting to join, but idk why the sec would want to take all of them.

I don't think they would. SEC is thinking big. Market area. Why would they want 3 or so teams from N. Carolina when one would suffice. I could see getting NC State and then later wanting UNC, ie A&M and Texas.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

I could see maybe ACC absorbing Big East/AAC, before them joining the SEC. Maybe Big Ten absorbing Big 12, and Pac 12 with MWC and others.

Does there have to be 4 Major Conferences?

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Just to be a honk. circa 2011

 

[lurkeraspect84]

i can understand why K and Roy ended their contracts early.

 

[JimboBBN]

UK fans worldwide would rejoice with that grouping. We would be a shoe in to win the SEC East

 

[AWilli6995]

Old school dudes that are set in their ways and left on their terms. That's how you want to go out.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Texas and Oklahoma just formally notified the SEC that they are seeking an invitation to join, which would begin July 1, 2025.

I think they have to say that now, but after lawyers are done, they should be here next season.

I don't think so. They have to give the Big 12 at least 18 months notice and since their media rights belong to the Big 12 until 2025 it doesn't make much sense anyway.

If that's the case, it's going to be a long 4 seasons.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

We'll see. They might find a way to get there sooner (see what I did there?), but it would probably be 2023 at earliest, imo.

I say they're in it next season.

No, because I don't really give a shit either way.

I immediately regretted offering on how brutal you'd be.

There's probably a good chance the Big 12 will be dissolved well before 2025 anyway.

 

[duckboy33]

Missouri and Texas A&M announced they were leaving the Big 12 in August and November of 2011 and played in the SEC in 2012.

Texas and OU will be in the SEC in 2022. They said 2025 for legal purposes

 

[BasketBallJunkie-UK]

I think they're in next year also. Article said the SEC will make near or as much as the NCAA itself after the realignment.

Big Ten reportedly not keenly interested in expansion at this point

So, apparently, the Big Ten is not sold on expansion for the sake of keeping up. Do you feel the conference has to do SOMETHING to match the SEC?

Big Ten not budging yet on following SEC's path

that probably means SEC might be poaching some of their teams.
