Isn't the reason Texas didn't want the SEC the last time was because of the academic standards?

Nice to see that my home state of Mississippi still leads the league in ignorance.
Mississippi: First in literature, last in literacy. Fascinating place.
Side note: one thing this list shows you: undergrad rank doesn't matter much. A degree from Bama, LSU, Arky, Ole Miss or State is a fine launching pad to whatever grad school or career as long as you do well.
I went home to Laurel, MS last weekend for my 50th HS Reunion.
I've noticed that an Ole Miss degree only means something if you stay in Mississippi, or run into another Ole Miss graduate.
Get the book "When Evil Lived in Laurel."
That's the era I lived in.
It was a scary place back then.
