Anyone with eyes can see A&M's acceptance of the SEC's invitation was the smart move . Been a huge success on many fronts .
Thought OU was obligated to bring Okie State along to any conference move certainly doesn't appear to be the case now .
Of course if UT and OU are able to force their way into the SEC the Big 12 ( 10 teams ) abomination is finished .
Baylor's only hope is an ACC bid . With the strength of its men and women's basketball programs such an move could happen.
Everyone else is **** out of luck .
To me....its a lateral move.
Texas A&M is still the same average to pretty good football program they were in the BIGXII....just with more money and a larger stadium.
I fail to see what the "huge" success has been.....and I'm being dead serious.
Baylor has more success in major college sports in the 10 years that A&M has been in the SEC.
For the past 25 years of being in a big conference aggy averages about 1 elite season (see 1998, 2012, 2020...etc) every 8-9 years.
When this one season happens you can be sure that aggy (and their Texas media cronies) are going to crow about how badass A&M is, how they have all this fancy redneck money, how big their stadium is....etc and what they fail to always mention is that A&M will almost always go back to what they have historically been.....which is an 8-5 program.
Remove 1984-1998 from Texas A&M (when they were dominating a dying Southwest Conference by cheating their asses off) and they are nothing more than Mississippi St.
The Texas Media gives aggy way more respect than they actually deserve.
chuckle
Oh sure.a 'lateral move'.
With expenses continuing to rise in college athletics it's ALL about the money.
The Big 12 ( 10 ) can't begin to generate the revenue of the SEC.
Revenue that will be needed even more in the near future .
That's why OU and UT are begging for an SEC invite . ( an invite BU would be thrilled to accept ).
For all the frustration expressed around here when A&M joined the SEC, events have clearly shown it was the right move .
I hope Baylor's basketball success lands them a spot in the ACC.
Otherwise Baylor will join TCU, ISU, KSU, OSU and Texas Tech in the Mountain West Conference or something similar .
This response is classic aggy.....and its the big reason why no one respects Texas A&M University.
aggy will brag about:
-how much money they have
-how big their stadium is
-their new found SEC friends.
What aggy will not brag about is actual on the field performance because Texas A&M is still the same underachieving, mediocre school they were in the BIGXII.
That is what I mean by lateral move.
You guys aren't any better than what you were in the BIGXII.....which is just an average program that every now and then (1998, 2012, 2020) will have a great season.....but then will go straight back to being what they have always been....which is 8-5.
I give you guys props for knocking down UT. When you all left it greatly diminished the Texas Longhorns as they lost their biggest rival.
The problem with aggy....is that they always act like they are way more badass than they actually are.
The Baylor Bears have more athletic success in Major Sports than aggy since they left for the SEC.
I don't really care all that much about conference affiliation if you only have an elite season once every 8 years.
I don't care how much money you have if all it nets you is 8-5........with almost no success in hoops.
