  1. You don't see how playing your three year career in a zombie conference that won't really exist when you're gone in which everyone hates you and wants you to lose every game would be a negative? Before, we were recruiting to the Big 12, which is obviously not recruiting to the SEC, but is not a disaster. Now, at least for this class, we are recruiting to a zombie Big 12 that is collapsing and everyone on the internet is speculating that the refs and league will be trying to screw us at every turn over the next four years. That seems worse to me. Edit - To be clear, that is obviously not the only issue, but I can see how it would be a major negative for the 2022 class. Sure, maybe we're in the SEC next year, but why take the risk when you have options?
  2. Don't worry guys, he's working to find out more about this message board rumor!
  3. I think this means Nike over Adidas. It might mean something, or it might mean nothing.
  4. https://youtu.be/x5X1cElgBo4
  5. I think it's more like the conference "challenges" in basketball. If the Big 12 and Pac 12 agree to it, then each conference would get a few marquee games out of conference guaranteed to sell to the TV executives.
  6. I can see why kids would be hesitant to hop on board right now, given that everything that is public suggests that we will be playing in the Big 12 for another 4 years and everyone there (including maybe the refs) will hate us. That sounds like a beating. Even if we're telling everyone it will be sooner, it's pretty easy for A&M/Bama/etc. to just point to every single public statement we and the SEC has made.
  7. Once failed. He didn't fail at Washington - he left to take a better gig.
  8. Complete rebuild for the Cubs.
  9. If they believe that, I could definitely see not liking the prospect of playing most of your career in a subpar conference where everyone (including probably the refs) hates your guts.
  10. Officially official:
  11. Can anyone give a synapsis of this paywalled article? Interested to see if it says anything about scholarship limits, etc.
  12. I think the SEC's football prowess is somewhat overrated, but I'm just not sure that UT Arlington is going to be able to compete in that league at this point, at least until they restart their football program.
  13. Well, if Nevada Buck says so, it must be true.
  14. This sounds like after the fact justification for the Big Ten getting outmaneuvered by the SEC. I don't believe for a second that the Big Ten would say no to Texas and OU because OU is non-AAU.
  15. Is anyone else having second thoughts about this whole SEC thing. I mean, I was in until now. What are we going to do without the trip to Stillwater every other year?
  16. Yeah - I don't get it. Here are the current cross-over games: Alabama-Tennessee Auburn-UGA LSU-Florida Arkansas-Mizzou A&M-South Carolina Miss State-Kentucky Ole Miss-Vandy If Mizzou and Alabama/Auburn switch sides, three of those are kept, so the only ones you lose are: LSU-Florida A&M-South Carolina Miss State-Kentucky Ole Miss-Vandy I can't imagine any of those are worth keeping, so the only question is whether the Mississippi schools and LSU need to play Alabama/Auburn.
