    My question is will Texas be OK with being an equal partner after ruling with Texas, Oklahoma and the eight dwarfs?
    And what would happen to the Longhorn Network?

    Not even at Jerry's World?

    Why the fuck are Georgia, Florida and Auburn agreeing to schlep halfway across the continent to be at a deep crowd disadvantage? Alabama might not mind as much but it still isn’t going to have an equal crowd to Texas, OU or Aggie in that scenario. They are the ones calling us. Throw ‘em a basketball tournament once a decade (just to give Kentucky something to bitch about) and call it good.

    As long as they can keep their home games against Western Carolina and Charleston Southern

    the brand of Kansas basketball would make up for the market in terms of the conference contracts

    Big Ten’s last four expansions were Penn State, Nebraska, Maryland and Rutgers
    None were selected for their basketball programs

    Has nothing to do with the conference title game.

    Kansas is UConn in a wheat field. If this goes through it will soon be playing conference basketball games against Wichita State.

    I don’t even understand why the SEC would do this.

    It’s perfectly happy at 14 and gets pretty much nothing from adding either school. Oh yeah, the SEC just backed up the Brink’s truck and got a monster deal without Texas or OU.

    This makes Texas and OU look really bad. Here’s my guess: They did approach the SEC, the word got quickly to some folk at A&M and they’re leaking it to every reporter in the state.

    Didn’t even see that part
    I was thinking about whether they’ll add a conference game to the schedule or keep those gimmes

    When I asked the question about travel, it was in specific regard to a potential SECCG in Texas.

    UConn's relevance is astounding to me. It's every bit as rural as anything in a midwestern wheat field. I seriously never understood how anybody would want to go to college there. At least Lawrence has bars. Storrs is a strip mall 30 minutes from Hartford.
