I could handle a football or baseball game with Tech . . . or basketball. LULZ.

Also OOC baseball series would be nice too (for Tech).
Fuck Baylor for everything. Maybe we can throw them a bone in WBB or softball or volleyball. But not for football.

If it's pods, it has to be this. If you were to switch aggy for Missouri or Arkansas, it would throw off the competitive balance. Missouri will like this because it gets them out of the east and should help them recruit Texas. I think Arkansas will like it because it helps them recruit Texas plus we're their rival, not aggy. Florida and Georgia get to keep their cocktail party and don't have to play Bama every year. LSU keeps their rivalry with the gomers and more of a foothold in Texas than they'd get from Missouri.
Will this mean no permanent cross-pod rival game? if you play 2 against each other pods + the 3 in your pod?
it would kinda suck to not have annual Texas-A&M, Arkansas-LSU, Alabama-Tennessee, Georgia-Auburn games anymore.

Sounds like CDC has next-to-nothing to do with this. It was Hartzell/Eltife/OU driven.
This is true, but if Sark works out, at least it's appears CDC brought in the coaches and the mentality for us to compete in the SEC right away in all sports. There shouldn't be an adjustment period for the new competition (hopefully).

If we did that why not have LSU in our pod with ARK and make AtM our rival. Plus you have to do these things for OU and LSU may already have a rival.

I wonder if the Aggies would try to duck us and be in another pod.Because fuck aggy and I hope the SEC sticks them with us and OU because that's their place.

Still don't see how that gives the advantage to Cougar, who the Pac could have had numerous times and wanted nothing to do with.
The calculus changes for grabbing BYU if the B1G, ACC and Pac-12 all decide to go 16.
Again, if you're going to add mouths to the table, you gotta get a bigger pie.
BYU has a national fanbase, which = eyeballs = money. TCU isn't going to give them the Dallas market and isn't going to add more eyeballs. BYU is pumping out 3x the alumni of TCU, and BYU's alumni are spread out.

maybe this is more of a football answer, but it seems everyone has us in a pod with arkie, for geographical purposes, and i can only assume, to renew old rivalries.
why don't we just pod up with lsu and have arkie be our "rival"?
I'm fine with either. You can make a case for a UT/OU/LSU/A&M pod with Arky as our cross-pod permanent rival or UT/OU/Arky/A&M with LSU as our cross-pod permanent rival.
Both would be awesome.

I can see the Pack giving TCU a rider on religion, but don't see it on Baylor. If KU/ISU get snagged, which is a bit of a stretch I think, does the Pac grab Tech/TCU/OSU/KSU?
And if they don't grab KU/ISU, does the Pac grab them instead?
If the PAC is going to give anyone a rider on being a private religious school, I think they just take BYU. It's a more national fanbase than TCU/Baylor, geographically within the Pac 12 footprint, automatically gives you a great in-conference rivalry game with Utah and isn't, you know, TCU/Baylor.

Who you got for 16 is the real question. Not sure they want to stay at 11, like they stayed at 15, if the feeding frenzy begins and they need to wait nearly a decade to pry loose ACC teams.
West Virginia if the ACC says no thanks? West Virginia gives you a perfect pod of West Virginia, Maryland, Rutgers, Penn State. Plus WV adds basketball and isn't as bad as KU in football.
ACC is at 15 and can add ND to hit 16. There really is no other choice besides West Virginia or ISU.

They aren’t making those calls bro. Stop it.
They let those schools know they themselves better find their own home quick because we aren’t coming back the minute they saw we weren’t on the B12 call last night.
KU is finding their own home. we didn’t help them. Tech chancellor has indicated they are doing their own thing. That’s not us helping them.
Thats just not how this works. If we want the GOR to end after this season, we will find a way and that doesn’t mean we have tell other conferences to please take our leftover schools just to safe UT money. Good Christ.
Texas: But PLEASE, B1G/Pac/ACC, we really need you to take Tech/OSU/KU/WV. I know it won't add major media markets to your footprint and will mean you have split the pie with more people who don't add significant extra revenue, BUT WE NEED YOU TO DO THIS.

If you don’t think Texas and OU wouldn’t make some calls to save 10s of $millions, minimize political backlash and avoid 4 lame duck seasons then you’re naive. Then is as well planned as the D Day invasion.
It's clearly happening on its own without us doing the work for them - see the Tech guy's tweets from yesterday. Will all 8 of them be proactive? No, but enough of them are smart enough to not sit around with their dick in their hands. KU and Tech are 2 that don't seem to be waiting around for someone (Texas/OU) to assist them in finding a new home.

3 minutes ago, Eastwood said:Because we don't have to. Texas and OU knew that the moment this became public, all other teams in the Big 12 would be reaching out to conferences, who now have a renewed sense of urgency to expand. Reports are saying that is exactly what is happening. Why waste time and money on a problem that will take care of itself? I'm sure Texas will take a phone call from a conference for some insight on the administration of a school, but Texas isn't going to make phone calls or sit down at any tables on behalf of other Big 12 schools.
Plus Texas wouldn't be hurting if they have to pay the penalty. The money will come back to us within a year or two, plus some. SEC knows the TV deal with Texas and OU is going to be astronomical.
The fact that KU is allegedly already in meetings with the B1G and Tech has been talking to the Pac 12 means the problem will resolve itself without Texas having to hold the other 8 schools' hands and walk them across the street. They want to stay big boys, they gotta find their new place to live on their own. Daddy is going out for cigarettes and he ain't coming back.

There’s good talent in the southwest we can entice with games in their home region. Texas will be an attractive alternative for good players being wasted by Jo Evans who still want to play in the SEC
I think we’d be an upper middle pack SEC program (OU, Alabama, Florida, Arkansas, Texas/LSU) to start.
