Both are very legit reasons to move. I heard a lot about the economics of the move and I think the facts are coming out that it was severely overstated. The prestige of being in the SEC definitely outweighs being in the Big 12 so there's that.

As I previously noted, the economics will be fine. The exposure is going to be incredible.

Makes me wonder if it will in the 600's or 200's on Directv.

I seem to recall him saying the SEC wouldn't have it's own network.

That's the primary reason in my opinion. When Texas decides to leave what happens to everyone else?

Mizzou was in a tough spot, I admit. Move to a "secure" conference but confronted with the fact that they'd never really be able to compete for it all.
Jack Harry wants back in the Big 12. Would be interested to hear what the other fans think. |

Probably fear on our end that the Big 12 was imploding. Also flirting with the Big 10 didn't do us any favors

Hindsight being 50/50, the old Big 8 schools should've told Texas to get ****ed and been savvy enough to make a deal with the Big10 to have an alliance in some way for bowl positioning. Reg season champs square off in a 8 vs 10 show down. Winner gets a shot for national title game, runner up goes to the Rose Bowl

I'm with you. I'd like to have the sports channels and a news channel or two, but not enough to make me want to buy full-time satellite.

There were 2 main arguments I heard when Mizzou left: 1) Big 12 is unstable, and 2) the SEC will pay out far more. Now we know the answers to both of these questions. And Mizzou fans were clearly wrong on both. We see new arguments now being formed - "exposure will be great!" - "we play in the best football league!" - to justify the move. But make no mistake those were not the main reasons given when they bolted. |
