    What may make the most sense is moving both Bama and Auburn to the East, and shifting Vandy west. The Dores can keep UT as a crossover, and otherwise shut up and cash their welfare check. Alabama would have to lose either LSU or MSU as a permanent rival, but keeps the UT rivalry.

    Speaking as a fanboy of a non-Vandy SEC East school ...

    You'll take our Vandy out of our cold, dead hands.

    The East winner might not have enough healthy bodies to take on the West winner, with that division lineup

    I can promise you, losing Vandy is a deal-breaker for every other SEC East school.

    Before there were divisions, schools didn't play all the other ones every year (as you noted regarding AU/UT) and it didn't result in disaster.

    Although as a split alum, I'd love to see Mizzou in the East -- it would be one helluva hoops division.

    If Missouri moves it will leave because they can make more money elsewhere. And the Chancellor, who is the Chair of the Big 12, will will leave Kansas, K State and Iowa State in an abyss as the Big 12 collapses. Missouri has been aligned with these schools for what, 90 years?

    Which is not to say that many others have not or would not act in the same way. Clearly loyalty has been jettisoned in the interest of more cash by many other schools also. Just sad to watch.

    Was just about to post that it really seems like the Big 12 might just somehow survive ... minus A&M.

    So all the talk about how Oklahoma was demanding this, that and the other ... I guess Texas wins this round.

    Shannon Tweed is confident the Big 12 will be around for a long, long time.
