How long til the SEC adds 14?

[ralphiewvu]

Before the season ends right?

 

[Ballboy534]

Don't worry, WVU won't be in consideration.

 

[WoodyHayes1951]

Doubt any ACC team leaves for the SEC

That means it's either a Big East or Big 12 team.

 

[WoodyHayes1951]

Or they could stay at 13. Wouldn't be surprised.

Boyball ya never know.

Won't be Big 12, contractually impossible for 6 years

You know very well that contracts don't mean anything anymore.

Yes, they do. No one is going to invite a school that has ZERO tier 1 and 2 rights for 6 years. That eliminates the whole reason to bring a school into your conference, because you won't make a penny on them till 2017

If the SEC is smart, they go after TCU....try to get as much of the Texas market as possible.

Did Missouri not sign the contract? The SEC could always go out and snag them.

Mizzou has to make a decision. I would give them till 3 monday to sign. They don't have an offer on the table from anyone in reality.

Everyone will have to sign to move forward.

The best move IMO for the SEC is TCU. They don't really want to go to the Big East, and it gives the SEC another Texas school/market share

What's the purpose of adding another Texas school, though?

Get more market share of the Texas TV market. UT is always going to be the major draw. But two Texas schools in the SEC increases their ratings and recruiting presence.

Really, what other options are out there for the SEC that make any sense? VT? WVU???

 

[Red Elephant101]

I don't know why the SEC is after a&m or anyone for that matter, Alabama gets who ever it wants for the most part from California to the East coast. UA has been rescuing kids from Texas for decades and generations.

 

[tech_iceman]

why would you add 14 more teams?

Really? Maybe someone should have told this to Malcolm Brown......Alabama gets the leftovers from Texas, don't fool yourself.

TCU doesn't add anything to the TV market... A&M doesn't even add that much

 

[starbigd]

Combined they add to the market.....and lets face it, they need as much as they can get if they can't get UT.

I just don't see too many other viable options for the SEC as a 14th member

To hear the SEC tell it they have to have academics so the only logical choice is Rice...would that give them the Houston market though?

We'd maybe take OU since the PAC12 stood you up.

What? They have a Texas team already, you don't add more from the state when you all ready have the market.

Beside, 1.) TCU doesn't have a whole lot of fans, 2.)Nobody likes rich snobby schools.
