Syracuse is a shadow of their former self. Their football program is barely P5 caliber these days and I'm pretty sure they have a miniscule fanbase and do nothing for the TV market unless they are very popular in NYC, which I doubt.

Now ESPN is saying Oklahoma and Texas could move to the SEC "in weeks." Craziness. The buyout number is insane.
So questions then...
Would Oklahoma and Texas be part of the SEC schedule this 2021 season? As in would the team schedules change? That would be entertaining. Oklahoma vs Alabama!
I'm down for Kansas and Kansas State to the B10. Kinda makes sense when it comes to the geography.AAL 2023 - Alim McNeill

Yeah, the first step is declare their intention of not renewing their grant-of-rights with the Big 12. I read earlier today that supposedly the SEC has always had a "gentlemen's agreement" that if a school wants to join and there is already a school from that state in the conference, than that member alone can veto the addition. Apparently, Texas A&M is hoping to use this unwritten rule to keep out Texas. Good luck with that! LOL. I always enjoyed the Texas - aTm game, tho. I'd like to see it again, especially after A&M stomps their feet in a futile effort to keep the Longhorns out of the SEC. I forget what representative of the school it was, I think their AD, but he didn't mince words. He said the primary motivation for leaving the Big 12 in the first place was to get away from Texas. I guess it's like your ex moving in next door. From a neutral fan perspective I like it!
Edit: These things always take a few years to play out. There's a huge buyout clause for leaving before 2025 and that will need to be negotiated by the lawyers once the intentions are made clear and the SEC accepts them. Because they still need 11 of the 14 member institutions to vote yes. A&M is a definite "no" and I'm sure they're trying to get Mizzou to go along with them. I assume it would be hard to resist for the rest to have a monster conference like that. I actually want to see it happen. I mean who the hell are you going to dodge in the SEC? Holy smokes.Last edited by Mike; July 23, 2021, 11:44 AM.
