Yeah. The Big 12 could have member flags planted in San Diego, Texas, Orlando, and Connecticut.
In a couple of years, the Big12 could realistically control 75% of all Sea Worlds.
Someone let the sales department know.

2 years ago that made sense but now its all together. Show espn the value in texas/ou together + each teams games vs aggie, piggy, uga, lsu, florida etc and thats millions of more viewers + extra conference games like kent vs ole miss. Those extra conf game , sec getting even $5million/game is worth it to sec, i would think.
Theoretically I agree with you. But this is happening when ESPN is laying off people and I think I read they are in the middle of negotiating some other sports right now as well.
Maybe they'll be more receptive in a year.

Good question. I think, not sure, espn has a new sec deal from 2024 to 2034 but i dont think that includes Texas/Ou. Logically, IF thats true, espn has to up the deal. If it does include Tx/ou, thats that's bad on Sec part.
The deal was announced December 2020, so before OU and UTx.

When does the current SEC contract with ESPN expire?
I'm just surprised there's no renegotiation clause with UT and OU joining. We bring valuable inventory to the table. I know the SEC move is a long-term decision, but this sucks.
There probably is and the negotiation is ongoing.
May not be a bad idea to separate the OU/UT negotiation with the 9 game negotiation.

I can't believe 9 of 14 teams chose an 8-game SEC schedule.
It's both cowardly and financially irresponsible. I thought Sankey already had a deal in place with ESPN for the additional two bluebloods and 16 league games? What a clusterfuck.
It really looks like we had 5 votes for 3-6-6; 5 votes for 1-7-7; and 4 schools that wouldn't commit to either yet, hence the 1-year bridge schedule being voted in.
I'm just glad they didn't lock in 1-7-7 for 8 seasons.

I think Sankey will be looking for precedent, so I imagine most of the projected permanent opponents will be on the 2024 schedule. As it was said upthread, I bet Texas plays aggy and piggy. We also owe LSU a home game. I'd rather it address it in the one off year than kick it down the road.
That leaves 4 spots for 11 teams probably minus Bama. I'd like to play Auburn, Ole Miss, Florida/Tennessee/Georgia, and Vandy/Kentucky. No Misery, South Carolina, and StarkVegas would be nice.
There will also be a push for some of the rotation games that still haven't happened because of the ridiculously long 12 year rotation that the SEC adopted when Mizzou and A&M joined.
Like UGA @ A&M or Ole Miss @ Florida

Lots of words, so I'm not sure if you all want it pasted in full here.
Trying to break down everyone's preference and why it is.

It's interesting that he left out ASU.
He must not know about the Med School.

Why does everyone think SEC will eventually go to 9 conference games? That’s not something that’s ever going to happen
Because the SEC has 2 conflicting wants/needs.
1) Everyone wants to play everyone else more often. No one likes the current rotation which takes 12 seasons to complete a home-home with everyone.
2) There are a lot of existing rivalries in the conference. Most of the schools want multiple protected games.
3-6-6 is the format that handles both needs the best.

"becomes the 1st 16-team Power 2 conference to..."
There had to be a better way to tell this joke.

I mean, it's not like any of the traditional SEC powers are going to be clamoring to play the ags or pigs.
Except UGA. They still haven't made it to College Station and 2024 was supposed to be when it happened.

I thought it was just one rival that you play every year and that would be OU? Idk shits stupid and confusing.
They decided to not decide on 3-6-6 or 1-7-7.
This is a one year bridge schedule with 8 games. It sounds like they will have at least 2 rivalries protected.

Have you considered the advantages of Big 12 branded aluminum siding for your home?
Many people aren't aware of the insulating properties of loose tortillas. It will save you dozens.
Don't ask yourself if you can afford to have it, rather can your family afford not to have it?- 3

This reeks of holding out for more TV money before making the jump to 9. TV benefits from the additional eyes on that non-cupcake game, why shouldn't the SEC get their share? The recent talk of a "short term" 8 conference game schedule screams "until someone pays us to do more."
Sucks, but after letting CBS short change the league for a decade, I'm more than willing to wait a year or two for ESPN to come up with the cash, as long as it's a bridge schedule that doesn't kill any of the secondary rivalries the way a 1-7-7 will.

Theres an article floating around out there about this and at the very end theres a nugget that UCLA called up the Holiday Bowl committee a few weeks later and asked for their bowl gift bags to be mailed to LA...

No chance big 12 would let Texas or Oklahoma in the room when discussing expansion would they?
Maybe Kirk is adding the second half as speculation since that isn't part of the quote?

ASU and USF wow good for them, but Georgia still didn’t make the cut…Miami just got more attractive to the Big Ten.
Clearly, Florida and Georgia Tech have a Gentleman's Agreement.

I'm also trying to figure out why OU and UT will be getting full shares for 2024-25 from the Big 12.
